Let’s be honest—most people post their Shopee hauls to show off cute finds, home décor, or new gadgets. Mine? Not so glamorous.
There’s this one item that I regularly purchase on Shopee from the same shop. Let’s get it straight—I don’t know the shop owner, okay. I just find the item really, really good.
We’re talking about garbage bags.
Everyone needs them, but they’re surprisingly pricey in supermarkets. You can easily pay over ₱100 for just 10 pieces of Large. And since I usually need different sizes (small, medium, and XL), that adds up fast. To make things worse, some of the ones I’ve bought before were sobrang nipis—they rip so easily, especially if the trash is a bit heavy or wet.
Then I found this one shop on Shopee that changed my life a little bit (okay, maybe that’s dramatic—but you get the point). For as low as ₱99, you get 100 pieces of thick, leak-proof garbage bags. You can choose from different sizes, and the quality has been consistently good every time I reorder.
I’ve been ordering from this shop for a while now, and I keep coming back because:
- The bags are thick enough to handle heavy trash without tearing.
- They don’t leak (which is so important for kitchen waste).
- Delivery is fast and packaging is always neat.
- And most of all, it’s way cheaper than buying in-store.
You can even choose between black, colored, or clear—depending on what you use them for.
🧺 My Honest Take
It’s not a glamorous product, but it’s reliable, and that’s what makes it worth the repeat purchase.
No, it doesn’t have drawstrings like some supermarket brands, and they don’t come in rolls, so you can’t pop them into those fancy garbage bag dispensers. But it definitely does the job, and quite well.
The plastic is thick enough that it doesn’t stretch or rip easily. Even when I overfill it (which happens more than I’d like to admit), it holds up. Still, since it doesn’t have a drawstring, I wouldn’t suggest overfilling—it gets tricky to tie.
I’ve been ordering from this shop for years now—probably four or five, if I remember right—and the quality has stayed consistent. I usually restock every two months because we have a big household, and the medium size tends to run out the fastest.
No weird smell, no thinning plastic, no surprise changes in size or texture; just solid, dependable garbage bags that do their job well. I truly appreciate the consistency. 👏
🌈 About the Colors
The colors in the plastic bags are technically meant for waste segregation (I think). You’ve probably seen this in some places, like hospitals, where plastic for biohazards, recyclables, etc. have different colors.
Well, here’s a quick guide that you can also just Google:
- White: For clean recyclables or, in some areas, general waste.
- Green: For biodegradable waste, like food scraps and yard trimmings.
- Black: For general, non-recyclable waste or mixed dry waste.
- Blue: For recyclables like paper, cardboard, and bottles.
- Red: For biohazard or medical waste.
- Yellow: For hazardous or chemical waste.
But to be honest, we don’t really use the colors for those purposes in my house. I just need them color-coded so I can tell the sizes apart easily. In the drawers where I keep them, it’s hard to tell which one is small, medium, or XL when they’re all black and folded.
So I buy yellow for small, green for medium, and black for XL. (Sorry for not following the segregation rules—don’t kill me!) 😅
💬 Final Thoughts
Ang babaw ko no? Writing about a simple garbage bag lang.
But, it’s funny how something as simple as garbage bags can make you feel accomplished when you find the right one. This is one of those “unsexy but essential” buys that quietly make home life easier and save you money at the same time.
So yes, I’m that mom who gets a bit excited when her Shopee garbage bags arrive. Don’t judge me. 😄
