1,000 10"x15" chamber bags come to around $130-$150 shipped. That is 1,250 feet or 12.5 boxes of rolls or just over $300 worth of food save rolls.

Hoping to find a used unit but if not I will get one by next season.

This is the shelf I bought
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071SCVPRC It fits the VP215 perfectly. I would only suggest using a small piece of plywoood on the top to prevent the feet from sticking through the shelf wires.
Once you get one you will find yourself using it quite often. About the only time I use a ziplock bag any more is if something is going to be opened and closed a lot.
Sealing leftover soups/stew/stock/chili etc works great (just cool them first) and if you lay the bags on something flat as they freeze they are easily stored plus no more storage containers stuck in the freezer for months.
