Advantages: Pretty sturdy for household waste

Disadvantages: Not good enough for garden waste or heavy rubbish

I'm not one to spend a fortune on bin liners as to me its basically just a bag to put rubbish in! Some of the ones I have seen have been quite extortionate for what they are - for example in a moment of desperation I had to pop down my local convenience store on a Sunday afternoon - the only shop in my area that was open - and found 20 bin bags at a price of £2.20 which to me was ludicrous!

So thank god for Tescos! You can get 30 refuse sacks for the great price of just 71p. They are black and come in a roll, and are sealed within the Tesco Value white/red label. They are pretty basic - but then what bin liners aren't!

To use, simply tear along the perferations to detach from the next liner and open from the opposite end. I have found that although they are quite flimsy, they do the job well enough for general househole/kitchen waste but they did struggle a bit with garden waste and did seem to tear easily. For my kitchen bin though they were fine. I had to watch not to overfill too much though as although the bag itself did not tear inside the bin, on the odd occasion I have over-filled I have found that when you grab the top of the bag to remove it from the bin it can tear along the top, making it hard to grip and remove the bag from your bin.

These are the cheapest bags I have found throughout all the supermarkets and I have found that although as said I have had a couple of minor problems with them, they are as good quality as the bin liners from the basic ranges from other supermarkets and are that bit cheaper.

Should you require a heavier duty bin liner then these probably aren't for you and you may want to pay a bit extra for a better quality bag - but if like me, your watching the pennies and you really aren't too bothered on the quality of your bin liner then these are for you.

Like most items in the Value range. Good, but not brilliant - but then as they say you get what you pay for! Recommended, but not highly!!

Summary: Not bad - not great!!
