I plan on using my pootty bucket just for hvy duty business. Wondering on inexpensive but workable bags. I am planning on a morning routine(once I get back on my diet...lol) and then tying it up and "storing" it in a bigger bag in an out of sight out of mind place for disposal when it's convienent. What bags do you use, and do you treat them as a single use or how do you doo? :cool: Do you think the bags at the following link would work? I can't imagine anything cheaper if these bags work. Going to call tomorrow and order a sample pack, will post back when I get them and report if they fit and my impression on them.

I use compost bags, they are biodegradable. Not the cheapest but I find that I rarely have to use it them. I have a cabinet outside on my rear bumper that I can put the tied bag in till I can find a spot to bury it or dispose of it.
 
Yeah bio degradable bags would be real convienent, but the ones I looked at were kinda expensive for what I was planning on putting in them.
 
I just use regular 13 gallon tall kitchen garbage bags. It needs to be tall to go to the top of the 5 gallon bucket.

Usually the Walmart brand are the cheapest but the name brands are often on sale so I get them if they are close to the same price or les.

You don't want to have cheap bag fail with this stuff in it!! I buy only known brand names.

I would not even consider clear bags!!!!! I don't want to see that stuff and I certainly don't want other people seeing it!!!!

I suppose there is a point where trying to save literally pennies becomes ridiculous...lol. 13 gallon bags are still pretty cheap.
 
I second everything Bob said and, I usually save my shopping bags, store them in the bottom of my bucket, use the kitchen bag for deposit, then tie it in a knot as low as feels safe and pull one of the shopping bags up around it for double protection.
For storage I have a small tote in the "shop" in back.
Been thinking an ammo box might be a better storage solution.
