🔗 Save $6,000 A Year with My Complete Amish Home-Saving Method I teach:
https://eliasyoder.com

You have seen it hanging in butcher shops: a clear plastic bag half full of water, sometimes with foil in it, that is supposed to keep the flies away. Maybe you hung one in your own kitchen. Today I am going to tell you the honest truth about whether that bag works, and then show you a completely different thing you can do with a bag and water that genuinely works and saves real money on food.

In this video:
✓ Does the famous water bag really repel flies? The honest answer, and why
✓ Why a trick everybody believes can still be completely false
✓ What actually keeps flies out: covered food, a clean lidded bin, and a good screen
✓ The real water-and-bag trick worth knowing: pressing the air out to keep food longer
✓ Why air is the true enemy of stored food
✓ The free way to press the air from a sealed bag using nothing but a tub of water
✓ What it is best for, from freezer meat to cheese to dried goods
✓ The soft foods to keep it away from, and why it is not a substitute for canning

A word of care: this method removes air to slow spoiling, but it is not canning. Do not use it to keep moist, low-acid foods safe on a room-temperature shelf for long periods; that requires proper canning. Cool food before storing it, keep the water out of the bag, and label and date what you put up.

Tell me in the comments: had you hung a water bag, and did you ever honestly think it worked?

Next time, I am finally paying off the promise I have carried far too long. There is a reason an old farmhouse holds its heat through a bitter winter night while the new house next door goes cold before morning. It is built right into the walls. That one is next.

The people who built this country with their hands knew that, and we are only just starting to remember it.
