I found some at Wal-Mart (but I haven't used them yet).

Well, technically, the vacuum cleaner sucks...

We're getting pretty close to shoving off, and want to compress our
non-regularly-used clothing/bedding/towels, etc.

The "As Seen On TV" site shows several individual types of plastic
containers which are waterproof and use the vacuum to evacuate the air,
thus compressing them greatly.

I tried using our small 1-gallon shopvac and a heavy duty garbage
bag...worked great. Sucked a hugh wool afghan down to the size of a
loaf of break. Couldn't believe how tight a package it was.

It does gain back a little air over a couple of days but still stays
small. I've heard that even the expensive special bags leak some. The
up side is that garbage bags are cheap as hell.
