Advantages: Much Cheap than Most, Effective if Emptied on Time

Disadvantages: Breaks if Too Full, Quite Thin

We switched to using Tesco Value Refuse Sacks a little while ago and haven't looked back since. They cost 74p for a roll of 30 sacks which is about half the price of most of the other brands on offer.

We made the switch as a trial run initially thinking that we'd just double them up if they were really bad which would mean we'd lost nothing by trying them. We've been quite pleasantly surprised with them so far though.

When you get a new one off the roll, it tears off easily and it's easy to get opened up and fitted in the bin. These are noticably thinner than many of the other brands about and this does affect the way we use them. We tend to make sure we leave a big overhang when we fit a new one in the bin, then we make the effort to empty it before it's completely full up.

If you try to fill one of these bags right to the brim, I can tell from experience that it WILL break. But if you aim to fill it three quarters full and empty it in a timely fashion, it does the job well and still saves you at least a quarter of what you'd spend on a reel of bags costing twice the price.

If the economy was in a more reassuring state, we'd buy better quality bags than this. It's not though, and putting products like this in our shopping basket frees up cash for life's luxuries, so we'll continue to buy this amongst other money savers for the time being knowing it does the job well enough and saves a few pence in the process.

Summary: Recommended for the price
