I bought three cases so far they are worth it they're heavier than Walmart or grocery store t-shirt type bags. The black ones are great, not translucent at all. If plastic t-shirt bags have been banned in your city or state, throw a couple of these bags in your back pocket when you go grocery shopping and you don't have to deal with those pain in the butt paper bags that you wind up throwing in the recycle bin after one use. You can use these over and over great for vehicle litter bags, small Waste Paper baskets and just to have a few on hand. You don't have to double bag these. I'm not a cheap man but I hate to throw these out unless there has something nasty getting thrown out, if it's just paper and a couple of empty coffee cups I just empty the bag and reuse it, they are so well made. I would definitely recommend for someone that doesn't like dealing with the grocery store paper bags. Very reusable and very handy.
