Just realized buying cheap trash bags was a mistake

I used to buy the store brand 13 gallon bags for like $3 a box. They kept ripping on me when I'd take the trash out, spilling coffee grounds and crap all over the floor. Finally switched to Glad ForceFlex at $8 for a box of 40. Zero rips in 2 months, no mess to clean up. Anyone else had cheap bags fail on them like that?

Wait, did you used to buy those cheap store brand ones too? I was totally the same way, thought I was saving money and being smart. Then one night I grabbed a full bag and the bottom just gave out. Coffee grounds, eggshells, cat litter - all over my kitchen floor. I was so mad at myself for being cheap. I switched to the Glad ForceFlex too and honestly, it's been night and day. Not one tear since. Yeah it costs more but I'm not scrubbing my floor at 10pm anymore. Worth every penny.

Read something recently about how the seams on cheaper bags are the weak point, cheap adhesive just gives up under pressure. Totally feel you @tarak17, that floor cleanup at 10pm is a memory I don't need to relive, haha!
