    My Tesco only replaces the plastic bags for life but refused to swop the thicker ones.

    A "bag for life" is the standard 10p Plastic one. Most supermarkets (and a few other shops too) these days offer their own versions. Other shopping bags aren't part of the scheme.

    I like it when you get one with a really nice picture on lol :) Unfortunately like the poster above with the milk, mine got covered in fruit smoothie so need replacing.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
