Cinnamon, The food sealer will seal the mylar but it’s been my experience that not all the air comes out of the bag. You could try and see how your bags come out. My “sucky” machine,( friend and I call it that) has a vac+seal button on it and just a seal button on it. SO I did the vac n seal and because I’m paranoid (lol) ran it with just the seal button. Basically sealed it twice but it was the first time I had used it with the mylar bags. Glad to see some out there can still get things like material, etc.We’re not able to get things for the garden  or the small projects we wanted to do in the house (thanks Gov.) DH did go out today and was able to get the kitty litter, our grouchy ole’ Miss Chloe was happy, Chip was Meh about it, all he wants is the weather to stop being cold so he can be out in the 3 season room in the sun. We have about an inch of snow and it’s still snowing so it’s miserable and cold. I’ve got the grandbaby blues, haven’t been able to hug them BUT I get to face time and that’s helping. Both DIL’s have been real good about posting pics for us to see and calling us. I am worried with some of the bigger meat plants shutting down, Son2 will have a hard time at the store, he gets a LOT of people in his store that aren’t so nice. Most of the people are decent  who’ve fallen on hard times but a few are the gimme dat type. He’s in management so he may not be furloughed if it gets worse.So far he says they are getting things in and the company does have some local ways (farmers) of getting in supplies.

Well enough of my pity party, Stay safe and have a good day.
