A last resort would be to use the container without a bag in it at all, and wash the container after each use.
You know, like people used to do before they invented disposable plastic bags.

The operative phrase is in your first sentence: "Buy plastic bags." So replace plastic with plastic. We already reuse all kinds of bags to put the garbage in, fertilizer bags, mulch bags, etc. And, we do all the other stuff you mentioned, except for washing the container after each use which will run up the water bill.
