Does your dog food come in clear plastic?

No clear plastic, just regular dog food bags. They seem to deteriorate more with age than with sun, so far it's been 6+ weeks. They hold a good volume I can shape into a long pancake that bakes in our sun. I've flipped them twice and they seem to hold out well, nonetheless I will probably toss them, lots of 'em on hand. My black contractor bags can practically swallow me whole, I usually use them for moving. Sold by weight (about a dozen bags per kilo) last time it worked out to about 50 cents USD per bag. I'll try those because I have a bunch of them too. What's a few degrees at our latitudes.
