Of COURSE it was! This is the way it works, and it means you're doing it correctly. The GOOD news is, due to forgetting previous times, you've already learned the necessary skills to choose the wrong bag for the job and make it work. ; )
I like getting bigger ones just so once it fills up I can grab whatever else is around that can be thrown out of round up trash from smaller bins and bag them all up together. Also less likely to rip.
Get mega oversized bags, then pile the trash 2-3 feet above edge of can, then (when you finally decide not to be lazy) pull bag up over your epic trash tower, and haul it downstairs :P
I need a new trash can and I plan to take a bag with me to make sure it fits to my liking. Kitchen can is too tall and the bag sinks if the garbage is too heavy. Garage can is too short and there is a collar of unused bag once the can is full. It's like hot dogs vs buns. Damned conspiracy.
The store could realize they sell more of those bags, right? No, they'll just do their monthly purchases and overstock on the products nobody really wants but grudgingly buy because the right product is sold out.
Wut, always get the biggest bag available. I don't want a bag that as soon as I notice it's full is already too full to be closed. I want a bag that when I notice the bin is full, I can pull the edges up and look! There's more room to put the trash from the living room and the bathroom and still can be tied off with no trouble
I mean, yes but there are limits. I don't want a 40+ gallon bag in my 4-8 gallon trash bin, that's just overkill. Getting the next size up is generally fine though.
The best bags with the best price will always be sold out(because everyone wants them). The best price with the most available will be terrible(bc they're so cheap). The best quality with the most availability will be terribly expensive(otherwise everyone else would get them too).

Go bigger then?

I'm guessing it is the medium. They are harder to find.

That has to be a sign of getting old. I even find myself pulling weeds out of the lawn nowadays, this is your future.

I always get the next size up, easier to remove and tie up afterwards

Thank you. This is the first time in a long while that I've seen this meme format used for something other than a sob story. Refreshing.

It's always 13 gallon. Unless you have a big ass industrial type can. Then it's 50

You can probably find a lawn bag that'll work.

Went to buy the correct size, saw the larger size was cheaper and bought them. Made the whole exercise a bit moot.

I buy larger-than-necessary because they're cheaper. They still work.

I have a 24 gallon bin. Only sizes the store sells are 13 and 33.

I feel you. I have a 20 gallon, and they don't sell them at any store anymore

American measurements are like gay sex, I've heard about it and believes it works, but I'm not sure how. It's definitely weird.
pixelsnader
Of course the one that fit are the only one thats sold out. Why would peple buy trash bags that do not fit? That seems waste full.
EveryUsernameIsTaken4
Get a new trash bin based on the best bags available. The best sizes, best prices, and always available. Get the bin for those bags!

I have other gems like: buy 100 pairs of same colored socks. Losing one is meaningless now.
