OK, we shall see.
Is a bag that a store gives away -- with stuff in it just bought by a customer -- deductible as a business expense? Merchandise (including a bundle of bags for sale) isn't.
Does a bundle of bags take up shelf space that would other wise be used for merchandise sold at a markup rather than for less than purchase (as proposed for a bundle of bags)? Could be.
