Evening all.

We've had the bag tax in NI for the last couple of months. It is a pain remembering to bring bags with you all the time, but you have to get used to it.

IM just wondering to what extent they will push it to > Will we have to pay everywhere ? local shop, chinese takeaway ? High st stores ?

TIA

So those that can actually add up, are we much better off getting 1 or each coke, or is there not that much in it, going off the receipt that had 3 and 1 on?? TIA

1 of each

(The 3 compared at £3.98. Thats 2 recognised on the 2 for £2 multibuy and the 3rd full price of £1.98)

Was there not talk of food outlets being exempt?

Here's a question- imagine you were going to set up a stall selling cans of coke - what price would be a reasonable price to sell at? TIA

There are some exemptions such as food takeaway outlets, chemists (I think) and the likes of butchers if you are buying fresh meat, but all the highstreet stores and supermarkets charge for their bags. Charges mostly range from 5-8p but I have seen some of the more expensive clothes places charge £1.50!

Too late for me to try Sada today but I'll probably give this a go tomorrow. I have a couple of small APGS that need using up. Going to get 2 cokes (one of each) and two yoghurt packs. Can someone suggest some fillers that could be donated? Ie food cupboard stuff/not sweeties?

Big big love
