You can't argue with these bags!

Look there's nothing glamorous in a garbage bag and since it's just a ship that we take discarded garbage to a roadside garbage can he can money that spent on garbage bags can easily be viewed as money literally thrown in the dustbin. When you look through these lenses it's easy to default to penny mode and actively shop for bags at the lowest price, but the first tear you get will immediately remind you how bad the idea was! I've been using Force Flex bags for a long time and what I love about them is that you can add what seems like an 'infinite' number of items to the bag and it just stretches and stretches. The problem I have with them is that as they stretch, they get thinner and seem to rip infallibly every time I take them out of the kitchen bin. This wouldn't be a big problem if it weren't for the kitchen trash can collecting these wonderful liquid wastes from our cooking processes. Even a small tear results in a wonderful trail of fermented junk juice that stretches from the kitchen trash can to the roadside trash cans! These basic human packs are significantly more expensive than many of the packs I've used in the past. Depending on the quantity you buy and the current price, they can cost $0.25 or more per bag. Considering that many bags can be found for less than $0.10 per bag, this seems quite expensive. What you get for this increased price is significant quality and weight. sorry Hevi. These bags are just as good as the "contract grade" bags you can find at your local hardware store. The plastic is noticeably thicker and the double stitching reduces the risk of tearing at the seams. I can be absolutely certain that these pouches won't rip while I'm making my usual "sweet things" list. In fact, the only downside I noticed with these bags is that the plastic is so hard that they aren't flexible, which is both a good and a bad thing. Good in the sense that they're strong and don't stretch, but bad in the sense that if you overstuff them, they won't stretch enough to completely cover them. We're just changing these packages a little more to be able to close them properly. In general it is a quality product. You'll find yourself spending a little more for this quality, but if it keeps you from fixing even a single leak in the liquid trash, I think it's worth it in the end.

Pros
  • Health and Household
Cons
