[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Maybe your sister found the brand name discontinued item at an outlet or a place like TJ Maxx, doesnt mean she didnt splurge.

I have thought about getting my MIL trash bags, as a gag gift. She has a regular size trash can, 13 gallon I think, but uses grocery store bags inside it instead of buying trash bags. Drives me bonkers.[/quote]

Omg, my mother does that too with her trash. It's so messy and I cant understand it! I always mean to bring over some but always forget.[/quote]

My mom, too! She sets a paper grocery bag in her kitchen trash can. You can't just open the lid and drop the trash in because you might miss the bag on the inside. She also tears the top off of an old Kleenex box and puts it in the bathroom trash in place of a trash bag.

What is this about??[/quote]

My inlaws do this also.   They use the plastic bags from the grocery store that are always too small and they jerryrig the handles to the side of the can so the bag stays open.  My guess is that they are trying to be cost conscious and not waste a good trash bag if they already have one they can use from the store.  They grew up during the lean years in the 1930s.[/quote]
