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.
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
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.
