Poo bags for your pocket

I have, for the past 9 years, used Wilkinsons dog poo bags, they come in a pack of 20 and fit nicely into my back pocket.
They don't seem to be stocking these anymore. Are there others, not on a roll, that fit into your back pocket?
I have tried to get biodegradable ones in the past, without success.

    Pets @ Home do some flat one, but you would need to take some out as required as they are packs of 100 or 200.

    Biodegradable may not be with a cracked up to be. Interesting listen here.

    Otherwise, I just buy the box of 100 or 200, leave them in the porch and grab a couple on my way out. Then I can pretty much every coat I possess has poo bags falling out of the pockets.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have not could of.

    Not biodegradable but we use Sainsbury's purple nappy bags. They have tie handles and are very convenient

    I usually tear a few off the roll, and stuff in my pocket.  
    Also use plastic bags which vegetables have been wrapped in, also bread bags.  Saving money and environmentally friendly.
  • I use supermarket nappy bags. Often slightly thicker than some poo bags so a bit less yucky when picking up the poo. They come in packs of 150ish so I just take a few out in my pocket when I go out. 
  • Tesco nappy bags for me! 300 for 60p. At that price you can double up, if you need but I always have a large animal feed sack in my bin so I just tie it up. 
  • Morrisons nappy sacks work good for me. Slightly thicker than some cheap ones. 
  • Ecovibe poop bags are fully biodegradable and compostable and they come in a handy roll.  They are not cheap if you’re looking to save money but they are the best ones for the environment and they sometimes have offers on.

    I tried using bread bags when I was walking my neighbour's Doberman.  Seeing as he was the size of a small horse and somewhat loose in the bowel, it was a two-handed job.  I discovered that bread bags do sometimes have a small hole in.
