I'm more worried about what I'm going to use for poo bags for the cats... I don't want to use a bag that cost 5p every time I pick the lumps out of the kitty litter.

That'll be 10p per day, so £36.50 a year :eek:.

They are very handy for that and small bins. (pedal bin liners are not the same)


Mr. T. bags are !!!! anyway and wouldn't give them 5p for them!

A little suggestion....use the plastic bags supplied for putting in fruit and veg you buy...they are perfect for taking sandwiches in to work too

I often find several 'stick' together even though I am only buying one banana...you should try it...they are free

I think M&S have got it right, as they give the small bags away free but charge for carrier bags. If you're buying bags of frozen food, tubs of coleslaw etc., or milk from the chiller shelves, you don't want the condensation dripping all over your other shopping, so in that case popping them in a small bag gives some protection.

Agree about pedal bins - we've always used carrier bags to line our bin, and will just have to buy rolls of them instead, which isn't helping the landfill avoidance objective at all!

Also agree about clothing, which most supermarkets sell nowadays. Don't fancy my new teeshirt or jacket being wrapped around my loose earthy spuds, even if the latter are in a free small bag.

So what will happen when you order on line and have it delivered.....will you be picking out one item at a time from their plastic trays.....!!

Tesco deliver without bags. You just take tray into kitchen and unload. Simple!

Both ASDA and Ocado deliver in bags in the boxes. Usually get one or two items per bag! Had a mountain of ASDA bags last week after the delivery. Ocado collect the bags for reusing.

12p for a bag of 100 at Morrisons I use them for the dogs doings.

Last time I ordered from Asda they automatically sent the shopping in bags whereas Sainsburys ask if you want them or not. I hope Asda give us the choice once the charge comes into place. I don't really want to be paying for bags I haven't even chosen to use.

Where I do have a problem though is with the concept that if I buy myself a nice white shirt from M&S for example I'll be expected to put it in one of my own bags which may not be 100% clean as I've been using it for other things.

I suspect once the penalties come in I will only shop online, other than for groceries.

M&S delivery charges are much higher than the charge for a bag. Delivery free if collected at store though and it comes all ready wrapped as a parcel - so as long as you are not trying to carry other shopping you should be ok

I already use my own bags at self serve check outs in England.

The thing that annoys me is when t accuses me of overestimating my own bag usage. I bag things of different types into different bags so that I can make unpacking much easier for me and not do it all f I cannot cope ( health problems) with t all by the time I get home. I can just find fridge an d freezer stuff very quickly.

Its not or the silly green points.

Good idea, I just wonder if they will charge me for the bags anyway even if I do send them back.... they can be a little cheeky ol' As*a, I have to jump on them over incorrect prices a lot.
I'll have to see what happens when it happens.
