A Shout Out to the Space Saver Bags

Okay, so I just have to take a moment to recognize the incredible awesomeness of space saver bags.  If you don't know what a space saver bag is, they are bags (obviously :D) that you can get from the store (I got mine from Wal-Mart) and you can use a vacuum to suck out all the air from the bag once it's sealed, so everything inside shrinks down in front of your eyes (it's seriously like magic!) and can fit into a much smaller space...such as a tub!

 As you can see, this bag does not even completely fill up the tub.  I was able to fit some more stuff on top (I think it was my mud boots and an extra pillow).

 Here is what the bag looked like out of the tub.  That was ALL of my winter gear PLUS most of my sweaters, sweatshirts, and some other bulky clothing shrunk down into a compact cube.

 This tub held all of my bedding except one pillow (which probably would have fit if I had wanted it to).  I was even able to fit one of my winter boots on top.

Here is what it looked like out of the tub.  That's (from top to bottom) 5 pillow cases, 2 extra blankets, 1 set of flannel sheets, 1 quilt, 2 pillows, and 1 green fuzzy blanket that's somewhere in there too.  That's pretty dang impressive, I say!
