I have been buying these Kirkland Signature white plastic drawstring trash bags for several years. These bags are 13 gallon volume and measure 2'X 2'3" which is the correct size for tall "kitchen" trash cans. I find them to be strong, sturdily made and an extremely good value.

We've been using these for years. First the good. These bags work great in our SimpleHuman trash can, and I've had no problems with them breaking. They're quite strong in fact and they're a good value for the price. On the negative side, the "kirkland" logo printed on the drawstring rubs off on my hands EVERY DAMN TIME I take the garbage out. Very annoying. If they would just use different ink, or print the logo somewhere else, these would be waste disposal perfection.

Update - 6/23/2010 - Two of the three boxes of this purchased recently have not had the logo on the drawstring. Hopefully this unnecessary "feature" is being phased out.

Update - 3/6/2011 - Never mind, last several boxes have had the printing on the drawstring again. I really wish the manufacturer would leave the logos off.

I also have been buying the Kirkland tall kitchen drawstring bags for years. No problems...until recently. The new, improved?, bags are almost impossible to put on my trash receptacles, and even more impossible to close with the drawstrings. What happened?

Have been buying for many years. But now it's impossible to close the new style bags using the drawstring. I end up trying a knot with the bag, just as if it doesn't have a drawstring at all. Bring back the old style. I will move on to another brand if this is not corrected.

If I knew how terrible the redesign KS kitchen trash liners were going to be, I would have stocked up on the old. As many of you have read, the new KS kitchen liners (white) have a new fitted / unfitted lip, depending on the size of your trash can, but it is difficult to fasten around even standard trash cans. However, this is not the biggest complaint I have with the redesign. There is NO WAY you can load (even half) as much trash without it ripping / tearing vs. the old design. There comes a time to be environmentally conscious, but when trash spills out all over the driveway, sidewalks and eventually into the drain, I don't think the sacrafice on costs and material is worth it. Anyway, I hope they will get around to reading all the bad reviews and working on bringing the old design back or at least a MUCH MORE sturdy redesign.

I've bought these bags for years and years and they've been great. But. DO NOT BUY THE NEW "GRIPPING" BAGS. You can't pull them tight enough to close them. And pulling them to get most of the bag closed requires more pull than I want to apply to closing a garbage bag. GIVE US THE OLD ONES BACK, PLEASE.

Yes, I am another reviewer griping about the new design. They are too short now for my trash can! I don't care about how easy or hard the orange drawstring is to close, but these just do not fit anymore. I really regret having 198 of these left to go through.

Very nice packaging like the product nice to store. Fast shipping will order again.

We used Kirkland kitchen trash bags for quite some time with no problems. Now the new ones with the orange drawstring have a smaller opening and no longer fit the rim of our trash can. I liked the old bags, and I hope they will bring them back soon.

I have been using the Kirkland Signature Drawstring Kitchen Trash Bags - 13 Gallon - Xl Size - 200 Count (Kitchen) for years and years and have always bragged about the quality and value. I have even been buying these for my friends and family in south Georgia since they do not yet have a Costco. However the last two boxes that I purchased have not only drastically changed, but the quality is completely NON-existent.

I don't know what happened but the bags no longer fit a 13 gallon can nor do they close properly. Today I returned both boxes of bags as I am tired of fighting with the bag to try and make it fit. The bag ends up tearing. The customer service representative told me that they are getting a lot of returns on these bags.

I would prefer that Costco have a drastic price increase in the product, BUT at least maintain the same quality that so many have been used to for years. From a consumer standpoint, these new and improved bags COMPLETELY miss the mark in all categories of satisfaction!

I hope that someone from Costco reads all the complaints and returns to the old bags with the red draw strings that actually fit. They were great.
