Been pondering all night-

Imagine **unidentified item in bagging messages** when you bring your own bags!

I have to pack after scanning as (with Morrisons) it goes mad if you try to get one of their bags ready!


Ocado bags are brill for small bins and kitty litter

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:.

I use nappy sacks!tesco value ones!I save the carrier bags for dog poo lol

They never put plastic bags on the self service in my home town in Wales and we have been paying for bags for ages now. It has got into our way of life now to reuse the bags honestly it's like second nature now.

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!

I use charity bags in my kitchen bin, we get two nearly every week. No need to buy rolls.

I think it's fairly unlikely that you'd self-scan if you had five bags' worth of shopping. That's a lot of shopping and you're more likely to go to a normal till. However, for argument's sake... if you press the 'one bag' button instead of the more honest 'five bags', you 'save' (steal) 20p. Over a lifetime (50 years say) visiting the supermarket 50 times a year, that's a saving (theft) of £500!! Who needs a pension?

If you go to tesco late at night you have to use the self scan as its the only checkout open. In leeds at least.

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.....!!

Yes. I already do this, but typically pick up a few items at a time!

It's not as bad as it sounds, because in my experience, Tesco use far too many bags for their online shopping deliveries, which is why I switched to 'no bags.' I often received 1, 2 or 3 items in each carrier bag, which is just ridiculous; I assume they do not train their staff on economic bag usage.

This does flash up in tesco but an attendant will come over and verify that youve brought your own bags with you.

I use home bargain litter bags at 69p for 100. Three cats and I scoop twice a day and the bag holds it all nicely - and it's thick so wont break.

I don't have a problem with this, you just press the button saying that you have brought your own bags. I have always presumed this resets a scale to zero and that the bagging area is monitored by weight.
