Same as last January, just noticed this online. Will be popping to our local to stock up again. Just running out of the ones I bought last year. :D

EDIT: Plenty of every size in Colchester. E.g. 'G' (23-30l) down from £2.49 to £1.99. Since Dunelm are about the cheapest place to buy them anywhere at their original price it's a decent deal. They didn't reduce them any further during last year's sale.

    Forgive me for asking a daft question .... but why don't you use normal black bin bags?

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • The black bags are too big and scrunch too much around the rim where you are putting the lid on (if that makes sense - the lid fits quite snugly over, and the bag has to go round an inner bin first!)

    I used to use the brabantia ones but use sainsburys own, cheaper, ad still have the leak proof ness I need :) mine is the 30l push top, so their own bags may not be suitable for yours, 30l capacity though :)

    FFx
  • I have a similar type bin to a Brabantia but use black bags. I put a small vertical tear in the top of the bag to make two rabbits ears and tie the ends together tightly round the rim which holds the bag in place.

    Thank you. The Brabantia ones are excellent quality and easy to fit on the bin without a frill round the edge. I tried the Tesco version and they split way too easily.

    Yep, with the discount these are the same price as Asda's copy which is a no brainer. :)

    Don't use black bin bags for the reasons given earlier...
