Asda - not amused!

Why not use Tescos "no bag" option next time? They deliver everything just in the crates, and then they take the crates away. Simple. No bags to deal with at all, and you get green club card points too.

Complains about waste....

makes no difference this person driving for her shopping than a van doing it, except the reduction in traffic....also she may have some difficulty doing shopping - like I do...

1 being that !!!!! park in disabled bays when they are perfectly healthy, so I cant get out my car

2 being that I find sitting in my chair painful & generally shopping is quite a hard task for me...

I usually shop at Tescos,as it is only 5 mins away and have had it delivered for the past few weeks. I thought I'd try a different supermarket, so had a look at Asda and placed an order. It has just been delivered and cannot believe the amount of plastic bags used!!!!
Total shop was just under £50 and they had used 15 plastic bags!!!!! There was even 2 loaves of bread in just one bag.
Not very eco friendly are they?! won't be shopping there again.

Dude, you got a big Asda van to come out and deliver fifty quid's worth of shopping?

How eco-unfriendly are you?

(just a thought - maybe you should email them and tell them to come pick them up, if you don't mind the van belching diesel fumes all the way to your place and back....)

If your unhappy with the bags, then i hope you will recycle them, or even re-use them and not file them in the bin.

We did like tesco home deliveries, but we found that all the stuff coming to us was close to being out of date. Its ok when you shop as you can get the new stuff from the back of the shelf.

They have a point. If the environment worries you that much why not buy a big industrial freezer (obviously only a top rated one) and only shop once a month. Don't also forget to keep your computer off as it uses a lot of engery.

Plastic bags are bio-degradable now. They have a much shorter lifespan. The best thing you can do apart from not use any bags for your rubbish is use them for your bin. When you hand the bags back to the tesco driver they take them back and put them in a cage, this cage is taken to recycling and then the plastic is melted down to make tesco value refuse sacks. So one way or another they are going to end up in a tip somewhere.

I had a complaint a few months back that a customers wine was not individually wrapped in a carrier bag

Could have beenone of the green diessel or even an electric van like they use hear in some supermarket.

OP has a point, but thing is ASDA is so much cheaper, they just need to get to the no bag deliveries like tesco.
