Life With Space Bags

So this blog is just for Ray. He thinks this will be a great subject for the blog! :)

So as we have been packing we decided to try out those space bags - the ones you vacuum all the air out of. And we have fell in love with them! These bags are incredible! We put 2 wool coats, 2 down vests, 2 regular jackets, 1 large down jacket, 5 winter sweaters, and one set of sheets in the following bag. Now normally we have those jackets taking up all the room in our hall closet, the sweaters were on the shelf in my closet and the sheets taking up room in the bedroom. So you can see how big this bag was before we sucked all the air out of it.

Now look at how small the bag is after we sucked all the air out with the vacuum! This is such an easy process and just amazing at the space it saves!

We have a total of 5 of them now, two of them are filled with just pillows since we have sooo many of them! We also put a large stack of blankets and sheets in one and jsut amazed that the space difference! I really truly recommend anyone buying these bags! They are incredible! They even have travel size bags so that you can have more room in your suitcase! Just borrow a vacuum from the hotel staff before you leave to repack for the way home! :) We will be keeping all the extra bedding in the bag under our bed until we get a bed in the 2nd bedroom!
