I think Woot should expect a worker's comp claim from Mortimer in the morning.


My username didn't change to jimp for my birthday, but I understand. Thanks, we're good!

No monkey? No deal!

Although, I am happy to report that these do work with Macs! Works best with the Mac Mini as that is the product easiest to find a bag it will fit in...

Maybe I'll pick this up. My gf and I could mail cookies and stuff to my friend in Ghana!

You should raise the price $6 and sell them WITH a hermetically sealed monkey

THere are a pretty good amount of Buzzillions reviews. Average is about 4.3 stars.

I do a daily woot blog where I talk about the woot, link to CSEs, find reviews, etc. A few people have told me it's useful. Google "useful linkage" and there it is.

I think it would have been a better idea to have put the monkey on Carbonite

I use one of these to vacuum-seal my Sour Diesel Kush so the fuzz can't smell it when they pull me over. A+++ would buy again

No... the basil in the monkey's stomach. He got behind on his payments and has agreed to mule. Poor lil guy doesn't even know it's too late.

I thoroughly enjoyed the write-up substituting basil for um... you know. As the late, great Mitch Hedberg said, "I love the FedEx driver. He's a drug dealer and he don't even know it."

Are bags reusable? I'm guessing no, so where can I find more?

Can I use my ziploc bags with this? Got a bunch from Amazon. And a few cents each, they're probably much cheaper than buying the rolls.

just bought a foodsaver brand for my parents for the exact same price with a coupon code through bradsdeals.

Are there a generic sort of bag one can use with this, or should one stick with Rival brands?

You can use various brands. Rival and FoodSaver are available at most supermarkets, and are usually found in gallon, quart, 8" and 11" rolls. Quart size bags are most common and cost roughly 50 cents a piece.

Nah, it comes with four. That extra one is pretty important for double bagging that basil, I suppose.

The bags and rolls aren't hard to find. One hundred quart-sized bags are available at my local Walmart and K-Mart for about $20.00. Amazon carries them too.

Edit: We were all answering at the same time! And we didn't crash the server! Whoohoo!

Wal-mart sells a generic brand plus the name brands as well!
