Why I stopped buying off-brand trash bags for good

I used to grab the cheapest 30-gallon bags from the dollar store in Cleveland, saving maybe $2 a box. After my kitchen trash liner split open three times in one week, I finally switched to Glad ForceFlex from the Target deal and haven't had a single rip since. Has anyone else found that paying a little more upfront actually saves you time and mess in the long run?

Used to be a total cheapskate on this, grabbed those flimsy off-brands from the dollar store thinking I was so smart. Then one morning I took out the trash and the bag just gave out, spilled coffee grounds and rotten banana peels all over my kitchen floor. Had to mop twice and the smell hung around for days. Bought a box of Glad after that and yeah, not a single blowout in like six months. Sometimes paying a couple bucks more is just buying peace of mind.

Bought the expensive ones once and now my trash bags have a better budget than I do.
