Re: $126 for a trash can ?

QVCkitty1 · ‎05-23-2015

I honestly don’t care what people buy, or how much they spend, however I have no problem saying that $126 for a trash can makes me snicker. Now, if it hauls it to the curb , i’m In. 😆

@NickNack Mine is also 30 liter. It's the "round" fingerprints proof version. Had mine for 5 years. Purchased from BBB when I moved 5 yrs ago. My 30 yr old plastic one had seen better days.

@ReeverApparently lots of people do. 11 years ago when I moved from my home to an apartment, I went looking for a new smaller kitchen trashcan. Total shock! Bed, Bath, and Beyond had lots of them lined up in a huge wall display - all well over $100 even then.

Got in the car and drove to K-Mart. I'm still using the cheap plastic model I spent about $15 for. Yes, I have to press lightly on the foot pedal to open it and I'm sure I've spent the $100 plus I "saved" that day many times. Still, I'd make that same decision again today - assuming of course there are other shoppers like me.

I purchased a stainless senser opening trash can at a lower price from Amazon for the kitchen a couple of years ago. May sound strange but I love it. Uses regular size kitchen trash bags and there is no smell at all no matter what I throw away. Dog can't get into it and no more trying to hit the pedel to open it. Looks very nice in the kitchen, no need to hide it. I loved it so much I bought two small ones for the bathrooms. No open waste paper baskets for me, neat, clean, easy to use and covered. I subscribe to "if you ain't tried it, don't knock it" you may be happily surprised.

If your trash can is sitting open in your kitchen it's worth it.

I cannot believe when they build homes they don't make a place for the trash can.

Our house had a trash compactor in it. We took it out years ago & fixed that cabinet to hold 2 kitchen size trash cans in a pull out rack.

I hate seeing trash cans sitting out in the kitchen.

I got a stainless steel one about 2 years ago here with the piece on the lid that can push down the garbage. Well worth the money and much cleaner and better looking than te cheap plastic ones. Never a garbage smell like those plastic ones had.

Here’s our trash can. Either Rubbermaid or Hefty from Walmart. We normally keep the lid open.

I’ve looked at other trash cans that are way more expensive but this one gets the job done.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I got a very similar trash can from Costco several years ago. I think it was about $45!

@BunSnoop

Same here. I purchased a similar trash can from Costco as well a few years back. It's very attractive, and I like that.

Plastic would not work for me, I just don't care for the look.

Different strokes for different folks.

@Nightowlz. I know what you are saying but my house was built in 1959 and kitchen is not big enough for cans in the cabinet. But...my sister has the can in the cabinet right next to the sink and I hate it! It seems every two seconds I have to open the door and pull out the can. For me it just is very inconvenient, but it does look better.

I hear what you are saying. I am opening it every 2 seconds. I just leave it open when I'm in the kitchen cooking or food prep.

My MIL has hers sitting in the kitchen but she uses an elastic band off an old pair of underwear to hold the bag in place. It really looks tacky.

My sister keeps hers in the pantry. I know when I'm there I'm in & out all the time. LOL!!!

They just need to make a place for it when they build the home so it does not look so out of place.

Some kitchens have an ok spot to put it but some don't.
