About Poop Bag Cost
Multiplying daily walks by days in the year gives bags used, which converts to rolls purchased. The annual cost is rolls times the price per roll. Poop bags are a small but real recurring purchase, and buying a higher bag count per roll usually lowers the per-bag price over a year.
