Tesco - do you reuse your carriers?

I've now been having a look at how many others reuse carriers. I've been to 4 different Tescos recently, and seen no-one else doing it.

I've calculated that at 20 carriers a week, I get £10 of green points a year, which equates to £40 a year in deals. Thanks very much!

20 carriers a week - how big is your family :eek:

I re-use bags, or rather I have a fabric bag that I carry with my at all times. My weekly shopping for two people is only 3 or 4 carrier bags though so not making my fortune in points. I guess we must eat less than most people?

You are right though. Hardly ever see anyone else doing it and I always have to push to get them to add the green points.

On Breakfast TV (BBC) this morning there was an article on Morsbags - a campaign to get groups of people to re-cycle old clothes/curtains/duvet covers etc to make shopping bags. They then went to shopping centres and swapped people's carrier bags for these fabric bags in order to gain awareness. This is the link to their website. There is a pattern on there, and information on how to get together with people to form "pods" to co-operatively make bags. Great idea!

Mods - if this is in the wrong place, or there's a better place, please move. Thanks.
