The case for boring bin bags
Nobody wants to think about bin bags. You just want them to exist, hold your rubbish, and not embarrass you when you drag them to the kerb on a Wednesday morning. That is the entire job spec.
Polylina's 75L flush-top sacks are, by all accounts, perfectly decent at that job. The flush-top design means no annoying drawstring to faff with, just a clean fold-over at the bin rim. At 75 litres they fit a standard large kitchen or outdoor bin without drama. The community heat on HotUKDeals is real, with over 1,700 degrees of upvotes, which for bin bags is practically a standing ovation.
Who this is actually for
Look, if you are already buying your bin bags in bulk from somewhere like Costco or a trade supplier, this is probably not going to change your life. But if you are the sort of person who keeps buying a small pack from Sainsbury's on autopilot for twice the price per bag, this is a proper nudge to stop doing that.
The Subscribe and Save option brings it down to 85p, which is frankly silly money. Twenty bags at that price works out to just over 4p each.
My one honest reservation: these are not heavy-duty bags. If your household waste runs to broken glass, sharp packaging, or anything with real heft, you might find them a touch thin. Garden waste or building debris, forget it.
For everyday kitchen and general household rubbish though? Spot on for the price. Sometimes the boring buy is the right buy.
