Im considering purchasing a vacuum sealer. Not looking to spend a bunch of bucks on one. Looking for a basic one that will get the job done. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Okay. Its running!Foodsaver... I've had one for many years and it's still working perfect.
Foodsaver runs tons of special sales, some of them not lasting long so you would want to get their mailer.
I was just thinking the other day of running a Foodsaver thread here.
I have to tape off plastic in my kitchen like a Dexter kill room to slice meats.
If worried about thickness, would it be possible to double bag?Food save works great. Look for bags that have thicker layer. I've been buying ZipLock vacuum bags as they are much thicker than the FoodSaver bag and that is essential if you end up moving things around in your freezer over the course of a couple of years. Key is not damaging the frozen bag.
I had a good chunk of on of my briskets in a Foodsaver bag that was 4 years old, but still sealed well and no freezer burn. I reheated it on an induction hotplate set to 150 degrees for several hours before dinner.
It turned out fantastic. You could still smell the smoker when I cut the bag open. Amazing!

I bought a cheap one last year by Ziploc on Amazon, under $50 and some rolls of vacuum bag material.Im considering purchasing a vacuum sealer. Not looking to spend a bunch of bucks on one. Looking for a basic one that will get the job done. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
That pretty much what I'm looking for and in the price range also!I bought a cheap one last year by Ziploc on Amazon, under $50 and some rolls of vacuum bag material.
It works great, I've mainly used it for jerky, and as soon as is cools off will make cold smoked salmon and seal up portions.
You don't have to spend a lot to get great results, here's something similar as the Ziploc brand ones seem to be gone at the moment;
