Plastic bags hold about 20-30 pounds, how much milk are we talking?

  Plastic bags can easily tear with just a small box being sideways and its corners cutting into the bag...

  Depends on the type of plastic bag. If we're talking Walmart grade plastic bags then those are not going to hold 20 pounds. You'd be lucky to hold 10 pounds with those terrible bags. Safeway bags, thought? Those are crazy thick and strong and could easily handle 30 pounds.

  For metrics units users, that's 9-14 kg.

  Many US supermarkets use very thin plastic bags. I'm guessing 0.5 mil []. They're noticeably thinner than the type you (used) to get from UK supermarkets. This site suggests that "reusable" type would be > 2.25 mil. https://1bagatatime.com/learn/what-is-a-mill/ https://1bagatatime.com/learn/what-is-a-mill/
