'perturbed'.

Couldn't initially understand your post.

Really? A couple of letters wrong in a word and you couldn't understand the whole post?

yuck, thats goint to leave the wheely bin stinking really bad with all the bagless refuse inside

Not if it's only plastic pots, tubs, film food wrapping, dust and other non-smelly waste.

Food waste has it's own bin.

Thanks for your concern.

Just use the ones that are reusable...perfectly adequate for everyone's needs.

The new bags which are Tesco reusable have become really small, black with F&F on them, today at Tesco bough three and people were moaning at the counter some even leaving after arguments

Why is carrying a shopping bag around with you any more of a burden than carrying a purse????

I've just come from our local Tesco where a selfish idiot of a man took an age to load up his tgrolley with no less than eight -- count 'em -- eight Tesco plastic bags. Clearly he couldn 't give a hoot about the environment or the impact of all that horrendous plastic on wildlife both on shore and at sea.

I really really hope every one of his bags splits as he unloads his car. Maybe then he'll realise for the first time that plastic comes at a cost. To all of us.

Some people dont carry purses :P Even women.

As for the guy not caring about the environment etc.....I wonder how much damage to the environment is caused by people shopping at national chains who transport goods all over the country and import goods in massive amounts too. The same chains that knock down wooded areas etc to build their warehouses and stores.

I see you drive. Cars arent exactly environmentally friendly are they? And i'm not just talking about fume/noise pollution. They're far from biodegradable.

Perhaps you shouldnt be so quick to judge others in future? And yes I know its an old post thats been revived

My other half is the same. If I send a text message stating, "I will be home in ten mins" but accidently write, "I will be home on ten mins", she will have no clue what any of it meant.:cool::cool:

I recycle carrier bags, my local Morrison has a recycle bin you can put them in. I sometimes give carrier bags to my local red cross charity shop as they give them to people who dont want a charity shop bag to bag their stuff in.

My mum bought one of those shopping trollies from argos a few months back, Ive seen a couple of cheaper versions on ebay and Im going to get one.

To be honest, I'm glad the bags are getting thinner and thinner. I keep so-called green bags in the boot of my car. If I'm going to the supermarket to shop, then I know I need a bag or bags as much as I need my purse. For non-supermarket shopping, I have a small bag folded inside its own cover, kept permanently in my handbag.

You have no right to be so sanctimonious, you have no idea of the guy's circumstances.

I used about eight of my supermarkets carriers the other day because I went unexpectedly to do some shopping. However, I re-use the bags at home. I also recycle every day, have just had an energy efficient boiler fitted etc, etc, etc. I am therefore doing more than my fair share.

Maybe the guy doesn't have kids (or only one). If that's the case then he is doing more for the environment than someone with more kids who takes their own bags to the shops!!!

I find the only decent free carrier bags are Iceland's.

They are large and strong and amazingly, you CAN actually reuse them!

Farmfoods bags are decent too. They're the thicker ones. Can easily put 6 litres of milk in one bag and walk for miles without it breaking.

Tbh I prefer the thick material bags (have one from asda, aldi and lidl - and they're all huge so usually only need 2 max for weekly shop) as I've found even the bags for life tend to last less than a few months of constant use =/ bag for life my butt.

My Sainsbury's 'bags for life' from a few years ago are still going strong.
