Yeah, do the same thing with freezer bags, and get the air out the best you can.
The advantage of the vacuum sealer is it gets the moisture-carrying air out. Moisture causes freezer burn. If you can eliminate it, the mice last longer.
The little ones you buy at the grocery store are super-cheap, and you can use the bags over and over. it's very cost-efficient.

Without some sort of sealer it's hard if not impossible to get the air out so they will still freezer burn eventually even if put into another locking type container.
I'd do as Nanci suggested and get the ziploc sealer, will make your life much easier as you won't have fuss with trying to remove the air each time you open the bag, just use the hand pump to pull out the moisture and your good to go.

Just purchased the Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit and a dozen quart bags for a total of $7.90. I've been playing around with it and will start using it instead of dragging out the food saver.
1. the bags are easier to open no cutting.
2. you can actually pump all the air out of several bags in the same amount of time it would take to get down the food saver.
3. bags are less expensive and reusable without cutting, food saver bags get smaller each use because you have to cut them open.
