5p shopping bags 08:44 - Oct 5 with 12676 viewsexiled_dictator

shoppers will now be charged 5p for a plastic bag, if the retailer has more than 250 employees.
i am very happy that this long overdue change is coming into force from today.
many of our regular shoppers either reuse plastic bags, use bags for life, or even the ikea large bags. but inevitably, there are also donces who ask for a plastic bag having purchased a mars bar, or something that clearly does not require a bag.
i would love to have a no bag policy where you either enter the shop with a bag already, or simply don't use one at all. many purchases don't require them. i am talking specifically about convenience food purchases, not knicker buying in marks and sparks. i think most people already have enough bags at home, or in their car to justify such a policy.
stop providing plastic bags, just use what you have or purchase a bag for life.

It's not what you've got; it's where you stick it.

I had a little corner shop in Staines try and sell me a bag for 5p, i told him to fck off and that he had no right to try and charge me.

I got it for nothing in the end but i bet a lot of small shops try and make a profit off this.


They're his bags so he's got every right to charge you as much as he likes for them.

If you order your shopping online, will it turn up in plastic bags?

not anymore, last few weeks they have come in the crates and you just take it straight out which makes sense really as never understood why they gave us so many bags when delivering to our door anyway

Why not just ask your Gran or any other dear old lady if you can borrow their shopping trolley?!



What's not to like. If only there was a campaign to reinvent it.

Are the plastic bags we now have to pay for covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which gives us 30 days to request a refund for a faulty product?
If so, a bag that splits on the way home could be described as “not fit for purpose” and taken back for a refund, replacement or repair.

You CAN get Home Shopping still delivered in Bags in Crates.
You pay 5p each up to a maximum of 40p - Use 9 or more and it's still 40p

But your right they did use to put 1 item in each bags which was ridiculous. Hopefully they use them more sparringly now.
