Charlie, unless you are helping improve the bags, don't tell me to get used to it.

I noticed that recently too. I absolutely refuse. I go to the Dollar store and get a 30 pack (nothing fancy, just twist tie bags) for a dollar. They might not be able to hold a friggin' piano but they're sufficient for my household trash. Everything is getting crazy! Bologna and hamburger used to be cheap. Maybe it's just that I'm getting poorer, so I'm more sensitive to it.

Trash bags have gotten expensive for two main reasons... the new technology makes them work better for all different situations, so we pay for the technology.. also everything goes up eventually... gas used to be 25 cents a gallon..

They have always been expensive. Part of it is that the main factor is the weight of the plastic, that is really what drives the cost. That and advertising.
Like toilet paper and paper towels, the price is largely determined by weight.
My father owned a janitorial supply store and sold retail. His prices were lower for paper products and plastic bags becuse of his volume. I

Trash bags are getting more expensive because thet are needed by most all people and they are always improving them (their products) and that cost as well! They are never going to be cheaper so...Sorry! Get use to it!

I buy the store brand so I've never paid any attention to the price. They work just as good as the regular brand. If you don't want to pay for Glad, then get the store brand.

That's SMART biz....real money turn into a trashy bag.
Sure if gas are getting up ...they all follow the lines.
Think Tank... reuse the Grocery bags. Just keep it bagging.

I use the same plastic bags that they use to pack my groceries in the supermarket. It saves money and is less wasteful.

the prices of bags are going up beause oils if going up, oil is used in the making of plastic, so if the base ingredant is going up so will the price of the finshed product.
