Still not spending $99 on a garbage can......

Spin it anyway you want, but no, not spending $99 + tax + shipping on a garbage can for the kitchen. Seriously, what are some of these corporate buyers thinking????? SMH

@vickyh2 DH and I were just talking about that this weekend when we saw one for $49.99. It still wasn't tempting. Unless I was single, living in a small apartment, this would not be practical. Besides, how long would it be before the dog learns to open the trash can?? Can we say chicken bones?

Maybe someone else would? Item number??

Back in 2003, I bought one of the original Simple Human trash cans. I paid $179 for it, and it still works perfectly. Would I pay that much for one today? I doubt it.

Some people love gadgets and will pay any price. I love simple things that aren't electric-powered, are inexpensive, and that don't break.

I have a Simple Human garbage can in my kitchen. I bought it at Macy's many, many years ago when they were having a Friends and Family sale.

I wanted one, but since they are expensive, I waited to get one. I paid maybe $80 for it.

It was worth it. It still looks new 15 or more years later, washes up nicely, doesn't absorb odors and I can lock the lid if I have a dog who raids the trash.

I would buy another one to replace it, but don't think I will ever have to. It was a good purchase.

This same discussion was on the Boards over a year ago.

For some people, it is not the cost but the high quality and peace of mind.

I bought my SH can at BB&B almost 10 years ago (before QVC carried them), when my boy dog was tipping over the plastic cans, spilling everything and taking big bites out of the plastic. Yes, his teeth are that strong! He can chew through metal as well, but he cannot get a grip on this smooth exterior.

The S.H. can has been quite indestructible and I have certainly gotten my money's worth!

Going out on a limb, I believe they are thinking that they want to make a lot of money. I wouldn't spend that much either but it looks like they have some that cost more than that.
