I used to buy the expensive name-brand trash bags for years until my crew chief showed me something dumb

For like 5 or 6 years I was buying Glad or Hefty kitchen bags because I thought the cheaper ones would rip open and make a mess. I was spending almost twice as much every month. Then one day we were cleaning out a job site in Austin and my crew chief grabbed a box of the store brand bags from the hardware store. I gave him a hard time about it. He laughed and said watch this, then double bagged the can with just one bag pulled up and folded over the rim. It never tore. The trick is to not fill it too heavy and to use a bag that's a size bigger than the can so you can fold it down. I felt like an idiot for wasting probably $200 over the years. Has anyone else realized they were overpaying for something simple like this for no good reason?

What was it supposed to do that it didn't?
