Seriously, $8.75 for FIVE 16-gallon bags? And fifteen freakin’ dollars for FIVE 33-gallon ones?! That’s insane! Who’s got that kind of cash to just… throw away? (Pun intended, obviously). And honestly, are they *really* any better than a regular trash bag? I highly doubt it.
Which, naturally, got me thinking… “buy fake town trash bags.” Now, I’m not *advocating* anything illegal, okay? Just brainstorming here. But wouldn’t it be kinda awesome if you could, like, get some plain old trash bags and, I don’t know, stamp them with some kinda official-looking town logo? Or maybe just… *borrow* a bag or two from your neighbor’s roll (don’t tell them I said that!).
I mean, come on! They’re TRASH BAGS. It’s not like we’re talking about counterfeiting money here. It’s garbage! The whole thing is just kinda… silly, isn’t it? This whole system of needing *specific* bags to throw out your banana peels and junk mail.
Plus, think about it. The environment, right? All those extra plastic bags, just because the town wants to make a few extra bucks. Makes you wonder if they’re really concerned about the planet or just lining their pockets.
Okay, okay, maybe I’m going off on a tangent here. But the point is, those town trash bag prices are robbery! And even though I’m not *actually* suggesting you go out and try to buy fake ones (seriously, don’t do that, I don’t want to get in trouble), the thought of it does make you question the whole system, doesn’t it? Maybe there’s a better way. Maybe… we should all just start composting everything! (Except, then what would we do with the Target compostable bags? A conundrum for another day, I guess.)
