Use your own kitchen bags and save tons of money, these are overpriced.
Shameful and greedy price ramp up for these bags. Have you noticed how Munchkin Diaper pail bags are ridiculous expensive and/or hard to find lately? They're about $1 a bag, that's ridiculous! Well, their greed backfired in my case because I worked out a way to use regular garbage bags. They work even better because they can be scented and are nearly double the size!
1: Take an original munchkin bag and tear the bag off the blue ring. All we want is that blue ring, you can throw the bag away.
2: Push a garbage bag (tall kitchen bags work well) through the pail rubber slot at top.
3: Slide the blue ring (from the original munchkin bag) over the top of your garbage bag.
4: Wrap the top of the garbage bag OVER and UNDER the blue ring (to completely encase it) and pop the blue ring into the nubs like you would normally (only this time you have a garbage bag over the top instead of the ring being expose).
5: That's it! When you close the lid, the blue ring will hold the bag in place as the gears spin in to seal off the smelly air. To empty the bag just open the side door like normal and pull the bag out, separating it from the blue ring. Keep the blue ring for the next garbage bag and repeat!
Tall kitchen bags are about a nickel each, and since they hold twice as much this means they cost FORTY TIMES less than the munchkin bags right now. We used to go through 15 bags a month, the savings will really add up.
