as for carrier bags i read in a somerfield mag years bag a lady who used carried bags and knitted herself a big shopping bag. found a link on how to make them.

maybe off them on freecycle maybe someone else has a use for them. or i think with tesco when u have an online deliver they will take any bags to send off for recycling.

I fold mine down to diary size, and keep 3 or 4 together with a rubber band. I then have a pack of those in each of my bags and a few in my car. That way, I can always refuse a bag when I'm shopping (whch admitedly, isn't that often :rotfl: )

A few are useful and I used to use the supermarket ones as bin liners, but I don't have the supermarket ones anymore, just the WHsmith style, which don't stretch over the bin edge - I hate the thought of them going to landfill!

I collect mine and give them to my local green-grocer. He also get small change when I collect £1 of copper.as I believe they have to pay for it from the bank.

I use the vacuum bags too, but I find that after the first emptying they lose the seal and eventually fill with air. Have you put a flat bag in the top of the wardrobe and found it has risen behind the door track and you can't get the thing out easily?
