I got this grinder on sale at Gander Mountain for $79.99 a couple years ago. Saved $100 of list price.

I've ground over 200lbs of meat in the last 2 years with it and it hasn't ever clogged. I didn't know you weren't supposed to be able to grind pork fat though, because I've been doing that when I make my sausage adding pork fat from the store with wild pork when I grind it. It does grind a little slower on pork fat, but not bad.

On the vaccumm sealer, I bought the medium priced one ($100 at Walmart) and it works fine. The only drawback that it has is if you are sealing to quickly it overheats and you have to wait a little while before you can start sealing again. It only happens if I you are making a bunch of bags up all at the same time or something like that and I don't think it would be worth the extra $ just so it would seal quicker.
