Warheads® Scented Pet Waste Bags 12-Pack, $5 at Five Below
Each pack includes 12 rolls with 240 total bags, sized at 9 inches x 13 inches, so you're getting plenty of use out of one purchase.
There are two scent options available: Warheads Pink (watermelon scent) and Warheads Blue (blue raspberry scent).
A Simple Way to Make Cleanup Less Gross
Picking up after your dog isn't anyone's favorite part of pet parenthood. Standard bags get the job done, but they don't do much in the way of smell.
That's where scented bags come in. By adding a strong, sweet scent like watermelon or blue raspberry, these bags help mask odors during walks. This is especially helpful if you're carrying a used bag for a while before finding a trash can, or, worst case, have to bring it in the car.
A more pleasant scent can make the experience a bit more tolerable. Even better? Pair these poop bags with an adorable poop bag holder, and suddenly a not-so-fun task feels quite a bit less unpleasant.

Why Picking Up Matters
While we're on the topic, it's worth a quick reminder: picking up after your dog isn't just about avoiding an unpleasant surprise underfoot (though that's reason enough). It's also important for public health and the environment.
Dog waste can carry bacteria and parasites that may contaminate soil and waterways if left behind. It can also create unsanitary conditions in shared spaces like parks, sidewalks and trails.
Using poop bags helps keep your community clean and safe for everyone-humans and pets alike.
A Fun (and Practical) Twist on a Daily Essential
At the end of the day, poop bags are one of those everyday essentials you're always going to need, so why not make them a little more enjoyable?
With a playful nod to a childhood favorite candy and a practical benefit that actually makes a difference, these $5 bags are an easy, budget-friendly buy.
