    I went to Sears this afternoon, They had a 10 pack of compactor bags $10, regular $15 . These bags fit a 15" compactor, does not give gallon size but looks like a proper size for a large pack. 3mil, regular trash bags are 1 mil. wt, 2.5 oz, They look sturdy enough.
    I'm satisfied.

    What you are looking for is carried at Lowe's..item number is 202069 44 bags for $14.48.

    These are super heavy duty..2.5 mil thickness, 25" width, 32" height........68 liter capacity (18 gallon)

    They are white in color (easy to find stuff in the dark) and super stretchy. You will have a hard time tearing these bags.

    I bought a box of them a few years ago and I think I have used TWO of them.

    Highly recommended and plenty to give to your friends !!

    Personally I use 3mil contractor bags that I got at the home depot and they work great. I have a box of them that I bought when I was doing some project or other around the house and I never saw the point of going out and buying "special" bags just to use as a pack liner.

    I got the pack liner from LiteTrail for $5 (2-pack): http://litetrail.com/products/litetr...ier-pack-liner
    Haven't tested it yet, but I like that it's clear. Some people may like that it's made from the same material as their odor-proof bags. I don't know if it will be as durable over the long haul as the 3 mil contractor trash bags I was using, but it seems like it will work just fine.

    Ace Hardware was the only place I could find the unscented bags.
