I haven’t bothered with the big trash bags since I stopped going to the dump, otherwise they would have seemed worthwhile. Nothing worse than having a thin 55 gallon bag tear open in the car.
@Kidsandliz thanks. I’ll have to check the dimensions of the ones I usually get. Sometimes the “bigger” ones are just longer versions of smaller ones. And sometimes, even if they’re thick enough, they tear freely once they puncture.
The big bags/drum liners have so many possible uses. Preppers love them. Small tarps, hasty poncho, water catchment, window covers, body bags… the uses are endless.
Had they been 13 gal bags or ziplocks - well then I’d want them. I don’t have a yard. Landlord cemented the entire thing. 100% of it, so no yard work so no need.
Now had this been back when I lived with about a zillion pine trees in the yard, we raked up around 50-60 bags of pine needles each fall from our yard. Of course my kid then sold them at $3/bag on craigslist (having picked out the sticks and pine cones) and made a tidy profit (especially since I wasn’t paying her to rake, just paying for the bags - excellent racket - aka how to turn a chore into something she actually wanted to do - she even took orders when we ran out of pine needles in our yard). She was so excited about the money she raked, for free, several other yards too. Make around $360 that year. Took her about 5 min to rake and then fill a 55 gal bag. Had you sold these bags several years ago we’d be in for several.
@awk@melonscoop Yeah that is why they bought them. In fact her biggest customer was a professional landscaper. He’d put in orders and she’d go rake yards. First bag he bought he dumped them out to see if they really were leaf, stick ad pine cone free. We priced them several dollars below the equivalent amount of bailed pine needles. As these were the 7+" needles didn’t take as long to fill bags. Once we ran out of yards with only pine trees the mix of regular leaves meant no sales so she’d quit. She was making about $30-36/hour doing this since her expenses were zero (I bought the bags).
@martycaw That would equate to $28.90 for 100 bags. (not including tax) This meh deal is only $25. Menards are thinner, more expensive, and I have to put on pants to go buy them. That’s your idea of a deal?
I get 30gal 1.1mil for 18¢ each from the grocery store so I’m not sure this is a good deal, especially since they are pretty thin for the size. I would probably end up only putting 30gal worth in them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I use 3mil 42 gallon bags for construction cleanup and those often rip a little with debris in them. I usually fill them halfway max before it gets to 40+ lbs. I’m sure 1.5 mil would be handy for leaves or paper/light trash but not much else.
@dlightningd I can save you the space and the need to buy these bags. Every time you get the impulse to buy, paypal the money to me instead. You are welcome.
I know everyone has been wondering where the manbun philosphy came from…look no further than the toughbag 55 gallon trashbag. Watch out though, if you use this type of hair design, it may cause baldness from pulling your hair soo tight.
Newbie here, with a question. (Shut Up! I’m embarrassed enough having to post this.You try searching for ‘garbage’ on meh.) I finally decided I want these—oh oh oh I NEED these garbage bags and I found them over at Morningsave. Do I have to open a separate account over there, and since I have VMS, can I get free shipping?
I know this is probably answered in all the FAQS, but I thought I’d play the ‘pity me i have a small brain’ card, and maybe someone could give me an answer that doesn’t involve dividing by zero.
(obligatory), Love you Lots!
@wew As others have said, just login over there with the same credentials. You’ll find you get free shipping AND a 10% discount as VMP. (unless they got rid of that…)
These trash bags do not fit a 50 gallon trash can nor do the fit a squarer 45 gallon Rubbermaid Toughneck garbage can. Come on Meh, they don’t work. Give my money back.

Bag it- for trashy people
What a waste
@shiranissosexy No, Lorraine was still using the bags twenty years into the future. Nothing’s wasted.

For a second I thought it was a new type of fuko - a grab bag.
@norman8 No that is what they do in the second hand store and dollar tree wholesale place… We had the dirty t-shirt fuko once…
It’s a Glen cloning factory!
I haven’t bothered with the big trash bags since I stopped going to the dump, otherwise they would have seemed worthwhile. Nothing worse than having a thin 55 gallon bag tear open in the car.
@Seeds I have no idea how thick the bags I used were, but people are saying these are actually thin. I feel mislead
@Seeds “Nothing worse”… I would have thought having TWO 55 gallon trashbags exploding in you car would be worse.
K, show of hands time again: You looked at the picture and was like “Ooo, new fuku model!”.

@nogoodwithnames I also thought this was a new Fuku, but this time filled with surprises from FUKUshima…
Ah, finally something to store all my Meh purchases in. (Yeah, too obvious)
I’m so confused. Is this a bad dream or just a place to put yesterday’s meh?
That moment when you are the manufacturer of plastic bags and dont know what they retail for because you havent bought any in 10 years
@ihaveyoursox Followed by that moment when you buy them anyway.
I’d be willing to test that theory - when is the next one. You can fill it for me with decent stuff, then put it in a box and send it to me. OK?
Fuck it I will eventually use every one of these for something, and that something will be handy. Thanks
PS like the meh face today.
@Kidsandliz Me, too. And I wonder if it signals that the face need not be round. Is this the beginning of a new face phase?
OH MY GOD THEY THREW OUT GLEN!! (and his family)…
Need to be at least 2 mil. (3 mil bags don’t seem to be available in the largest size.)

@walarney I mainly buy 55 gallon contract clean up bags. 3mi husky (Home Depot brand).
@Kidsandliz thanks. I’ll have to check the dimensions of the ones I usually get. Sometimes the “bigger” ones are just longer versions of smaller ones. And sometimes, even if they’re thick enough, they tear freely once they puncture.
Finally, I can now bury all of those bodies!

@Kerig3 Apparently that’s what they are doing in Maine with the quantity they’ve bought.

@sp3ar If only I could use these bags to send my own junk to Mediocre Inc., then maybe I would consider today’s offer.
@sp3ar That’s what she said.

@Kidsandliz wait - why do people buy pine needles in bulk?
@melonscoop Pine needle weaving is the only thing I can think of, or maybe a firestarter for their fireplace?

@Kidsandliz @melonscoop it’s southern thing. People litter that trash all over their yards in Georgia
1.5 mil? Please. Gotta have the 3 mil for the 55 gal drum.
For your own DIY bags of crap
Should be 3 mil. Also, for some strange reason, I’m reminded of the poop poncho Skemmis once demonstrated. https://www.woot.com/offers/gotta-go-portable-potty-2-pack-1
Menards has 40 , 1.4 mill for $11.56 meh is not checking prices
@martycaw Gotta love Menards. Category killer.
@martycaw And it’s an 11% rebate you’ll forget to fill out and send in!
@martycaw That would equate to $28.90 for 100 bags. (not including tax) This meh deal is only $25. Menards are thinner, more expensive, and I have to put on pants to go buy them. That’s your idea of a deal?
Perfect for my Flock or Seagulls tribute band!

My cash ain’t nothing but trash.
If this was 5 1000 gallon bags, I’d be all over it.
@hotrodder But… why?
@shahnm I’d only have put the trash out about once a decade!
@hotrodder @shahnm You’d need a tractor or crane to lift it, though.
wtf. I don’t live in a day care or frat house. who the heck has a 55 gallon drum trash can for residential use? meh.
Reviews on Amazon absolutely shred these as being crap that smells like dog poo. Think I may just pass…
Wait… I don’t use trash bags often but is 25cents/bag really considered a good deal now?
@tsfisch - it’s kind of a Meh price - if you look it up at the big orange box or PlanetBezos you’ll see mostly higher prices for mostly bigger bags.
Whats next a 12 pack of #2 pencils? lol

Why buy them at all just to throw them away?
meh. not a really good deal.
Why is everyone trashing this deal? I’m thinking of bagging one myself…
This deal is completely garbage
@midcontrast Good one dad.
It’s not the amount of bags for the trash, but the amount of trash for the bags. And I for one, do not have enough trash for these.
@kelsinator two words - leaf raking.
@Kidsandliz I don’t have a lawn to rake, but this is true… trash =/= leaves

7 mil is contractor thick. 3 mil is cleanup bag. These are 1.5 mil and that is not “Tough”

Blink twice if they’re overworking you…
These are basically only good enough to line your trash barrel to keep it from being dirty because of your leaky kitchen trash bags.
1.5 mil - not tough and too thin… not worth it- lots of bad reviews on Amazon too
As this is normally what I put a Meh purchase into, by buying this, I would create some sort of infinity puzzle worthy of MC Escher.
