Is Any One Else Addicted To -----

scubaleopard

I know this sounds crazy but I am completely addicted to the new scheme in Asda. Take 5 carrier bags back to the shop and get a bag for life free.

I take 5 back get a free carrier when I have packed my shopping and then fold it neatly inside the others in the boot and love seeing them grow .

To be fair I do use the ordinary carrier bags to line my waste bin and would miss them if I did not have them. This also saves me buying rolls of bin liners.

BUT I am a bit worried what this site is doing to me. It all came to a climax yesterday when I chose a trolley because it had a carrier bag in the bottom!!!!

As a final point my addiction is somewhat controlled by the number of visits I make--- I don't go more than usual so feel there is hope for me yet.

Any suggestions for treatment or am I not alone?:rotfl:

No any old carrier bags-- perhaps I have the obsessive gene!!

lol. don't worry. I seem to have become obsessed with this website recently!! I come home and the first thing i check is the boards and start reading. I've been up past midnight some nights. Then I tell my bf and sis about all the freebies they can claim and offer to claim on their behalf. my bf thinks i'm a psycho

lol, sounds like an addiction to me. but a good one.

sorry, must go to Asda now. I have so many carrier bags lying round!

no fair they've stopped doing this in my local Asda!!! Cheapskates, although not as good because it's not free but Tesco have been selling a really sturdy blue back for half price from 34p down to 17p.

I think I just love freebies--- and at least when I do my Lidls shop I have plenty of bags

Each Asda store was doing this offer until they had given out all their vouchers for free bags for life. There are also the vouchers for school/organisations for "green" activities when you re-use bags, which is good, so you can put all those bags for life for good use!
