I finally changed my mind about using store brand trash bags after doing the math on 6 months of kitchen data

I kept buying the cheap 13 gallon bags from Dollar General and they ripped about every 4th time I pulled them out. Last month I counted 7 cleanups from torn bags and realized the name brand ones from Costco cost almost the same per bag when you factor in the 40 count box being $12.50. Has anyone else done the actual cost breakdown on this and found the fancy ones end up cheaper in the end?

Cheaper usually costs you more somewhere else in life.

Oh come on, it's not THAT deep. Sometimes the cheap bag works just fine for taking out the trash or carrying a couple things from the store.

Nah man, cheap bags save you money if you just double bag the heavy stuff.
