    CRAZY EXPENSIVE TRASH CAN

    CRAZY EXPENSIVE TRASH CAN ON SALE

    is it worth it? what is an alternative, other than the double-bagged trader joe's bags I am currently using?


    That's kind of nice, though.

    I just got this plastic bag dispenser that they make and it has markedly improved the quality of my life.

    If I paid that much for a trash can, I'd wash my garbage before I put it in there.

    How about this?



    $22.49 for the pair (granted, Target's out of stock).

    Welcome to the world of design. I dated a girl who was an industrial designer and was introduced to the world of ridiculously expensive products like that.

    at the risk of getting on to good housekeeping's shit list - i say to not. get a $20 industrial strength stainless steel can from chinatown and spend the other $70 on records.

    some folks don't even sleep in digs as nice as that can!

    Just take a milk crate, put a plastic bag in it, and use a bob james record as the lid.

    Then take the $80 you've saved and buy a knitted demon fuzz mask.

    For crazy expensive you need Brabantia. Foot pedals are for suckers.

    I have that joint.

    It saves me just as much, if not more, time than my velcro shoes.

    Two thumbs up.

    the simplehuman joint is i've got limited space for garbage storage and the 38L one really rocks my yacht.

    but the cost is to the power of ten

    On a similar "expensive household items" trip look at this http://waterwise.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=24



    It purfies water and is super good. Dude showed me the inside of the tap water jug attached to it and you could see all the lime caked around the insides of it.

    damn! on the brapanty-a website the trash cans are actually in their 'WASTE COLLECTION' LINE
    - that sounds like someone talking about my colon.

    anywayz, missbassie's got the right idea- go cheap on the can and save $$$ for records!

    I ride for the simple human. Use them bed bath and beyond coupons and cop one.
