Also, how many more trash bags were sold in the meantime? I used to never buy trashbags until the random bans and charges, and now I have to buy them.

Same, though the "biodegradable" plastic bags stores tended to use lately would end up completely teared apart after a single use.

Also it seems like every store around only has non machine-washable reusable bags. Any meat or vegetable leaks in there and they'll quickly become disgusting.
