    Don’t really need to buy antthing,, fill your sink with water,,,then fill your freezer bag,,, now, carefully, holding both sides of top of bag, push bag down into water, not letting water into bag,,,when water line comes up to just the zipper part, all the air will be pressed out by the weight of the water! Zip it up and remove bag from water,,,I was amazed the first time I did this,,,really looks vacuum packed!
