When it comes to buying supplies for the house, I often try to be frugal. I am not really frugal though when it comes to buying trash bags. I only buy Glad bags because I know they are STRONG.
My grandparents always have had Glad trash bags in their pantry. Every year, since I can remember, I visit my grandparents on Christmas Eve to open presents with the family. I have always put all my gifts into those bags and they never let me down. Never did my gifts get ruined over a torn bag. I admit, I tried the cheap bags years ago when I was younger, but after using Glad for all my life, they don’t even compare in quality for me.
Today I sent out a Tweet to let Glad know I was using their bags wisely!
I have tried to teach my children that it feels good to give to others. Since they often get new toys to play with, I always ask them to donate the stuff they no longer want. I gave them a Glad ForceFlex Extra Strong Large trash bag and asked them to put together a donation for the kids that don’t have toys. I reminded them that Christmas is coming and they needed to make room for some new toys. They were eager to help.
I can always depend on Glad bags for holding all my stuff I am trying to hold in their bags. Just the other days I used one of these bags to put a bunch of old catalogs in that I wanted to get rid of. I didn’t get a picture, but I definitely put the bags to the test.
Take a peek at this fun The Wild Life video from Glad:
If you are on Facebook, you have to check out the After The Wild Life Tab on the Glad Facebook page. There is a fun game you will want to play called “Missing In the Mess” where you find things that are hiding while being timed. I thought it was fun to play and wanted to share!

Disclosure – I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Glad. I received products to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.
It looks like Glad bags really allow you to pack the donations in without tearing! Such an important feature when used for actual trash as well.
I too am very frugal when it comes to buying things! I have to because everything is so expensive. But I bought some of these bags, and used them to put big and small items into it. I used these bags when helping to move my brother, and I tell you even the sharp objects did not penetrate these bags. They are so strong and I can reuse them to put things in! Always will consider buying these bags in the future, even if they do cost more!
I love these bags…they hold such a big mess which is what our house always seems to have LOL
