Hefty Ultra Flex vs Glad Force Flex Trash Bag
Trash Bags as Flexible as the Cirque Du Soleil
Armed with my coupons I set out to the local Dollar General. I came across the Glad Force Flex bags. These bags were different than the usual cheap bags I had become accustomed to, but I never wanted a repeat of trash on the floor so I took a leap of faith and purchased them.
The Glad Force Flex is made from a very strectchy elastic type material. It has a diamond shape pattern that is very smooth. The Glad Force Flex was actually made to keep items from poking thru. The technology used was originally designed for the diaper and feminine hygeine industry to use for the same purposes. The nice thing about this bag is the polyethylene that is used to make the trash bags is a recyclable product. When there are scrap pieces of polyethylene, Glad uses these pieces to make more bags. Which is a great way to keep this plastic from the landfill and our enviroment a little greener.
I was doing my shopping at Wal-Mart and had a coupon for Hefty Ultra Flex trash bags and decided I would give them a try .I knew right away I would be pleased with my purchase as I had always knew that Hefty was a brand name I could trust. I simply loved the new stronger trash bags that I had started using. I could put bottles,cans and even pizza boxes in the trash bags and they did not rip or tear. The Ultra Flex trash bags are similar in design to the Glad Force Flex Bags. I did find the drawstring handles on the Hefty Bags to be more reliable and found the Hefty bags to be a better fit for my family's lifestyle.
The best feature of both bags is they both easily remove from your trash can. The Glad bags have other options than the drawstring to tie your bag with where the Hefty bag is only manufactured with the drawstring. Both of the products are easily found in retail, grocery, and discount stores. Hefty and Glad also offer manufacturs coupons that can be found in the Sunday paper or you can check their website.
I also found that by using the coupons, I was saving more money than I was before by purchasing generic products. So the plan to wealth is back in effect.

Post a Commenti bought the force flex bags to use in moving. if you put a few large objects they ripped amd broke open!
I am half way through my 60 count Glad Force Flex bags (seemed like a good buy at Sam's Club) and I will not purchase these again. These things tear quite easily and odors seem to emit from them. I was much more satisfied with the "regular" brand X kitchen trash bags I used to purchase.
Glad Force Flex bags SUCK DONKEY BALLS. The person who "thinks" they hold 60 pounds should come to my house and try to lift a week's worth of cat pee clumps out of the diaper pail using a "force flex" bag. RRRRIIIIPPPP!!! We have a THIRTY-POUND limit on trash and the city trash bags we get never rip under this burden, but the Glad bags (which stink like a skanked up whore) not only tore right away, the next bag out of the box split right down the side.
What can you expect from Clorox, which routinely LIES about its ScoopAway litter being "unscented" when it actually stinks to high heaven and makes the cats smell like they sleep on dryer sheets.
Guess what? None of these chemicals are tested by independent labs or the gov and nobody knows what they can do to your physiology. Got asthma? Thank CLOROX!
thanx for the help

I seriously DO NOT like the hefty ultra flex bags at all. I had used the glad bags and really liked them. I saw the new hefty bags on sale and thought I would give them a try. Almost every single bag I have used the handles have ripped out of. Thats with the garbage not even full. I think its pretty sad that the generic store brand bags seem to work better than the Hefty Ultra Flex.
this article helped on my research paper.
taht artikle realy heped me spel? tanks
this is the best web site about trash bags.
Hey! I'm not doing a science project, but I wanted to know which is worse for the environment, brown paper grocery bags or Glad drawstring bags? By "worse", I mean, landfill-wise.
