[nagdu] Before and after class

Thu Jun 6 21:50:55 UTC 2013

I got my produce bags from a store that was in Texas called Tom Thumb. Not sure if they are still in business. It was a store that we shopped alot at, started a working relationship with the manager, and then asked him about it. It was the best investment I ever made.

>> Rebecca, I am the same way. First I have never had a pup that didn't have huge big piles of poop. Thus the sandwich baggie would be too small. Second way way way back when I had my first guide I got a case of the rolls of produce bags. I am on my thrid dog, and I still have 3 rolls left. They are big bags. They cost less than 50 for the whole 4roll box. So that is what I use.
