DAMMIT!

trash

I need a new trash can and I plan to take a bag with me to make sure it fits to my liking. Kitchen can is too tall and the bag sinks if the garbage is too heavy. Garage can is too short and there is a collar of unused bag once the can is full. It's like hot dogs vs buns. Damned conspiracy.

That has to be a sign of getting old. I even find myself pulling weeds out of the lawn nowadays, this is your future.

I like getting bigger ones just so once it fills up I can grab whatever else is around that can be thrown out of round up trash from smaller bins and bag them all up together. Also less likely to rip.

Let me guess, 13 gallon bags?

Amazon subscription for my weird 40L trash can

The store could realize they sell more of those bags, right? No, they'll just do their monthly purchases and overstock on the products nobody really wants but grudgingly buy because the right product is sold out.

Wut, always get the biggest bag available. I don't want a bag that as soon as I notice it's full is already too full to be closed. I want a bag that when I notice the bin is full, I can pull the edges up and look! There's more room to put the trash from the living room and the bathroom and still can be tied off with no trouble

I mean, yes but there are limits. I don't want a 40+ gallon bag in my 4-8 gallon trash bin, that's just overkill. Getting the next size up is generally fine though.

American measurements are like gay sex, I've heard about it and believes it works, but I'm not sure how. It's definitely weird.

We call that "getting Walmarted"

Of COURSE it was! This is the way it works, and it means you're doing it correctly.
The GOOD news is, due to forgetting previous times, you've already learned the necessary skills to choose the wrong bag for the job and make it work. ; )

I have a 24 gallon bin. Only sizes the store sells are 13 and 33.

I feel you. I have a 20 gallon, and they don't sell them at any store anymore

May this be the worst experience of the decade for you.

It's always 13 gallon. Unless you have a big ass industrial type can. Then it's 50

I always get the next size up, easier to remove and tie up afterwards

I'm guessing it is the medium. They are harder to find.

You can probably find a lawn bag that'll work.

Did the same with mango chutney the other day.

Went to buy the correct size, saw the larger size was cheaper and bought them. Made the whole exercise a bit moot.

Thank you. This is the first time in a long while that I've seen this meme format used for something other than a sob story. Refreshing.

Get a new trash bin based on the best bags available. The best sizes, best prices, and always available. Get the bin for those bags!

Shop at Costco to buy the cheapest, highest quality trash bags with enough quantity to last you a year

buy another bin!

The best bags with the best price will always be sold out(because everyone wants them). The best price with the most available will be terrible(bc they're so cheap). The best quality with the most availability will be terribly expensive(otherwise everyone else would get them too).

I buy larger-than-necessary because they're cheaper. They still work.

Unless you have an unusual sized bin most fall into a very common cpl of sizes. Next: let me know when you're ready to upgrade to biodegradable bags!!!

Get mega oversized bags, then pile the trash 2-3 feet above edge of can, then (when you finally decide not to be lazy) pull bag up over your epic trash tower, and haul it downstairs :P
