Wasted $25 on those fancy slow cooker liners that claimed to be leak-proof

I bought a box of those slow cooker liners from the grocery store last month, thinking they'd save me cleanup time. I made a big batch of beef stew on a Sunday, put the liner in, added everything, and set it on low for 8 hours. When I came back, the bottom of the slow cooker was full of liquid because the liner had a tiny hole in it. I lost about a third of my stew that had leaked out and made a mess on the counter. Plus I had to scrub the ceramic pot anyway, so the whole point of the liner was pointless. Has anyone else had cheap liners fail on them or found a brand that actually works?

Man those liners are such a gamble. I had a box once that worked fine for like three meals and then the fourth one just split right down the middle when I lifted the bag out. Hot chili everywhere. My dog licked it off the floor before I could even grab paper towels. The whole kitchen smelled like chili for two days straight.

Totally agree @christopher_coleman17, same thing happened to me with spaghetti sauce, absolute nightmare.
