Trash bag math
Trash bags: compare cost per bag without buying false economy
Count, capacity, thickness, and failure rate determine whether a bargain bag actually saves money.
Start with capacity and count
Divide the final package price by the number of bags, but only compare bags with similar capacity. A 13-gallon kitchen bag and a 30-gallon contractor bag solve different problems even when the boxes look remarkably alike.
Strength changes the real unit cost
A thin bag that tears or leaks can turn one use into two bags and a small domestic incident. Compare thickness, drawstring design, and your householdās typical load before deciding that the lowest sticker price wins.
Fragrance is a feature, not value
Scented bags often carry a premium. Buy them if they solve a real household preference, but keep the fragrance surcharge separate from the underlying cost-per-bag comparison.
Choose a useful stock-up quantity
Trash bags store well and promotions recur, so an excellent unit price can justify buying several boxes. Stop before the inventory requires its own zoning variance.
