Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: break easily

A roll of 30 costs 71p, making them dead cheap, but is it worth it? We all know what it's like with bin liners. On the one hand they're being thrown away, so why pay a lot for them, but on the other, they sure do rip and tear a lot don't they, and the last thing you want is old crap all over the floor.

These cheap-o ones aren't too bad. I have to say they are definitely breakable, but they do hold up quite well. They're black but a bit see-through and you can see they're a bit weak and flimsy.

The problem is that, being so thin and flimsy, the rubbish pulls the bag down inside the bin and you're always losing an edge. I hate it when that happens because you end up having to stick your hand in to get it out.

In today's world where most of us have the brown and green bins, these don't have to do a lot, but if you put a heavy old amount of rubbish in them, or fill them too much, they will break on the short trip to the bin.

The result is you have to ¾ fill it, and be careful when putting rubbish in not to lose the edge.

All in all an OK bin liner, but I would recommend more expensive ones if you can afford them.

Summary: do it
