Where have these been? I guess I am slow, but when amazon led me to them while I was looking for small garbage bags and low and behold I find these. Whether mixing drywall mud, storing fertilizers or soil amendments, or marinating/brining meat the need for perfectly clean buckets is over. Now, I may choose to use new buckets for food items, but the time I save not cleaning buckets that I have mixed drywall mud is huge. Additionally, using a tie at the top of the bag, forgoes the need of having a tight lid so fertilizers or other dry goods stay dry.I do recommend that you have a bungee chord or cinch strap to keep the bag from sagging into the bucket and essentially undoing all your good preparation. If you are mixing drywall mud or epoxy, I recommend using a mixer which doesn’t have open blades.I heartily recommend these for so many purposes, moreover, you will find your own new uses as well.
