Yep, the foodsaver is def the way to go. I've got some Blueberry vacuum sealed that has to be at least a year old. The last time I smoked some, about a month ago, it was as good as the day I bought it. Even better than putting it in the bags, however, is to get one of the vacuum jars that go along with the foodsaver. It's still packed in a vacuum so it is preserved but you don't get the compression and you don't have to worry about cutting the bag to open it each time.
