Two months ago I bought a really nice FoodSaver, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! You can buy the premade bags in pint, quart and gallon sizes, and you can buy rolls with which you can make your own bags of different sizes. I vacuum seal all my dry goods as well as anything that's going to go in the freezer, since it elimates the air and cuts down on freezer burn. It really helps extend the storage life of conventionally packaged goods. They also have large canisters you could pack oodles of pasta, rice, whatnot in and vacuum seal if you get one of the more expensive models that has the accessory hose.
