can you use those plastic t-shirt style bags they put your things in at the grocery store? instead of buying the pricey tailored ones?

The t-shirt bags will fit but I will never use them. Lots of times they have little holes in the bottom or rip easily. You do get a few bags with the container when you order this and they are super nice and sturdy, sometimes I jam things in there and have not had a problem, they also grip the can so you don't have to worry about the side sliding down. The bags are really worth a little extra money and I only want to handle the trash once. Really love this and find it perfect for one person. Good Luck, Kate

You absolutely can, but you can also buy a cheap roll of generic bags that will last you roughly nine thousand years. I recycle all kinds of jars and bags, but I enjoy the perfect fit and non-gap-ness of the real thing for this little bin. It's just a very tidy, efficient design and the proper bags are a part of that, for me.

Yes you can but to prevent from accidental leaks which happen often with grocery store bags, I recently found another perfect alternative at a much cheaper price on a site called plasticplace. They are now carrying the drawstring bags almost identical to the Simplehuman "R" bags at $17.99 for 200 bags compare to the super pricey Simplehuman "R" bags at $15 for 60 bags.

It's really just a grocery bag, except not plastic. If you would carry around a plastic grocery bag, then I guess you would carry this around, too. I have used them on trips for carrying odds and ends.

Yes, it's not a perfect fit like the custom bags, but if it's a bigger plastic grocery bag, it will fit fine.

I use regular plastic bags that the supermarket gives for brining home groceries.

Yeah, I think so. They're both approximately stuffed-reusable-grocery-bag size, but if you had a backpack that stuck out the top, it would still work. And then you could put something across the top and bungee it down, and have even more. Definitely. That's what I plan on doing with these eventually.

I never tried them with regular bags, but I'm sure you could tuck them in around the rim. The regular kitchen trash bags might also be a little too big, but I imagine they are better priced.

I like to reuse plastic grocery bags, but medium kitchen bags work fine (they're just a little big).

Well, I've never tried to do that, but most similar snack food bags are made of Mylar or some other sort of synthetic material, so it may be possible. I didn't notice anything in the manual advising against it.

Hi Jennifer,You can but I don't recommend them because they all don't fit right and they are not as thick a bag. If you have anymore questions feel free to call toll free at 800-442-8227 and ask for Scott. Thanks

It will take an ordinary plastic grocery store bag, but I ordered the corresponding plastic bags. They are a bit thicker and also have handles to tie.

I use the brand name bags but it would probably work with the regular ones.

I think that you can use anything that you want at any store that you want. I can not imagine that a store would give you any grief. If they did, and answer such as "well they are more than happy for me to use these bags at ("their competitors")" will probably cause them to reconsider giving you any difficulty

When I run out of these bags for the Trashrac system I use the plastic bags from the grocery store...if that is any help in your quest.

If you are thinking VERY light shirt/pants, it might be doable. I would say the total size of the bag is about the size of a regular grocery bag.

Nope. But a plastic grocery bag would fit. BTW: mine fell apart a couple days after using it with my 8- and 6- year old. It was kind of junky.

Yes you do. I use grocery plastic bags or you can purchase the ones that it is designed for. Litter maid does not use plastic bags. It uses plastic containers if you prefer

You can, they don't fit perfectly, but if you pull tight around the top, you can be sure the bag doesn't stick out of the top at all. It's what we use.
