As it is, I rarely see anyone re-using bags. It'll be interesting to see how they enforce the charge at self-service checkouts. Presumably they won't be able to have any bags left out and people will have to ask for them. The frustrating thing about Sainsbury's self-service tills is how sensitive they are. If you use your own bag, you will get "unexpected item" 50% of the time.
Tesco's petrol points seem to be a decent deal, if you were going to shop there anyway.
Nectar have never been that good anyway, IMHO.
For me they have changed the bag rules in advance of the charge coming into force next year - especially now there are fees in both Wales and Scotland.
Don't expect Tesco to keep Green Points for bag reuse for much longer - take advantage while you can.
I noticed this, too. Moreover, Sainsbury's was the leader in the last price-ramping routine and their own brand vodka (to cite just one example) is now a whole pound a bottle more expensive than Aldi's equivalent.
Yet another reason to wave a (not so) fond farewell to Sainsbury's.
It's the same sort of reason they gave for dropping the 5% on 6 bottles of wine. At the same time they were giving out till spits for alcohol. It's all a con. Just hiding behind the 'Drink Responsibly' banner to try to fool customers.
Don't they realise that the more they treat us like idiots the more we're likely to be alienated and vote with our feet.
