Okay, I never thought I'd be writing a love letter to TRASH BAGS, but here we are. These Amazon Basics drawstring bags? *Chef's kiss*.

First off, the 0.9 mil thickness is perfect - not too thick that it feels wasteful, but sturdy enough that my questionable decision to throw away half a watermelon didn't end in disaster. The drawstrings are like little handles of convenience - no more doing that awkward trash bag waddle to the dumpster!

I appreciate that they're unscented because honestly, scented trash bags just smell like flowers crying over rotting food. These keep it simple and effective.

The only tiny complaint? When I get overzealous with stuffing them (we've all been there), the top can sometimes tear when pulling out of the bin. But let's be real - that's probably user error.

Pro tip: Subscribe and save makes these an even better deal. Now if only they made a version strong enough to hold all my bad decisions...
