Carry-Out Plastic Bag-Black Plain T-Shirt Bag 11.5"x6.5"x21.5" (Black, 100 bags/bundles)

useful plastic bags - good size for multiple uses

If I were short I could cut the bottom off and wear this as a sun shirt. Hmmm maybe too warm!I have used these type bags for years along with a cool rack that the bags hang on, just like in da stores. My primary use is when I gather kitty kookies from the cat tub. Tie em off no fuss no muss! Strong smelling…I mean strong bags!

Funny thing that a plastic bag is worth a product review, but this one is. A few years ago, the good people running the state of Washington decided to ban 'single use' plastic bags commonly used in grocery stores. This was the latest in a series of product bans intended to force people to make the world a better place. People were encouraged to reuse cloth bags and the stores switched over to paper bags, then ordered to charge for paper bags.Early in the pandemic when it wasn't known exactly how the virus was spreading, reusable bags became suspect and were banned from grocery stores, and the ban on plastic bags was temporarily rescinded.What does this have to do with this product?For many years I have been re-using plastic grocery bags as trash bags. I installed a wire rack on the cabinet door under my kitchen sink that holds a plastic bag in the open position. This works perfectly for me and allows a second use of the bag. I don't generate a lot of trash and add food waste directly to a compost pile in my yard. I don't demand much from a trash bag and a little goes a long way.I have a stockpile of old plastic grocery bags in a cabinet and for years have used them at a slower rate than they were collected. Late last year I depleted the plain white plastic bags that had been resurrected by the pandemic and now I'm working my way through the old stock of pre-ban bags with store logos.Since I like my system of plastic trash bag usage and don't want to rely on another pandemic to bring plastic grocery bags back again, and since paper bags don't fit the rack or do well with wet trash, I decided to purchase some plastic grocery bags.It turns out that these bags are very inexpensive. They are also better than the grocery store variety as they don't have breaks in the bottom from shoddy manufacture or from customers incompetently attempting to remove them from the rack at the grocery store. Since they are of the same dimensions as the old grocery bags they fit the rack perfectly. They are readily available, shipped immediately, were delivered promptly, and come in batch sizes that will last me a long time. Since they come in a neat stack they take up far less room than the jumbled bags that used to fill a large cabinet space.Ironically, they will be single use for this purpose. If the good people running the state of Washington decide to ban all plastic bags and prevent them from entering the state, I can easily purchase and store enough to last for many years.Seriously, these bags are great, but I have two suggestions to make them even better. First is a custom printing option. I would use this to note how the unintended consequences of the policy of the good people running the state of Washington drove me from being a re-user to single user of plastic grocery bags. Second, package the bags in a container labeled as something other than plastic bags so they can get past any inspection stations set up at the state line to screen for contraband.

4 stars only because I wish they were a bit thicker and bigger. Having said that - I use these for my cats litter box, recycling bottles, and cooking scrap garbage. Very handy. Even though they are on the thin sode, I have never had one break . I will buy again.

I bought these so I can make bags for the homeless. They are perfect size for what I need.

Good

Used at work to bag. Nice and thick.Our state outlawed plastic.. so....

I thought I had comparison shopped for the thickest available bag of this kind here - plain white t-shirt type plastic bag. Way thinner than I expected. I have yet to test their actual strength and durability. But if you're anticipating the kind of bag you would get at Walmart or Safeway, then you will most likely be disappointed. I'm continuing to shop for that weight of bag.
