OT carrier bag charge

[sm_jamieson]

OK, where can I buy carrier bags for less than 5 pence ? Our free supply of kitchen bin bags has ended ! Simon.

Asda do a remarkably strong plastic bag for life for 6p, or they did until yesterday!

Otherwise:

I'm sure you can get more for less!

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Roll of 50 bags is a quid at Poundshop. Don't forget to use the scam charity bags that are pushed through your letter box by the Poles.

I too have never thrown away a 'free' plastic carrier bag without it having been reused as a bin liner first, or sometimes being used to pick up dog s**te.

I'm a Lidl/Aldi shopper and have been used to providing my own bags for years. I use the small laundry bags which only have to be replaced every

2 years or so, usually because they are degrading due to UV. Most of the time they live in then boot of my car.

or

The small ones are around the same size as 1.5 plastic carrier bags but can hold 20x + the weight of goods.

Do you do all your shopping at Poundshop?

[tim.....]

and why not?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Nope, not been there for months. It would seem that the major retailers are now matching or getting close to their prices. It was good fun going there though, you can get garden stuff dead cheap. I've got loads of garden ornaments etc that have lasted for the past three years and still look good.

[ARW]

Any ideas how much a bag of shit is at Poundland?

[David Lang]

Tooltation, Screwfix, TLC etc have to charge as well. Shame, I use their carriers as rubbish bags in the van.

[ARW]

You mean for a quid?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Amongst other decorations: Two large plastic butterflies for a quid. Two large plastic ladybirds for a quid. I have six of each on the back garden fences. They have been there for I think the past three years and visitors still admire them. Bloody big plant pots at a quid each.

[ARW]

Which visitors admire them?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

Friends. Family. Neighbours. They have all commented on them.

Your turn:

[Bill Wright]

Don't you mean 'piss themselves at them'?

When they first announced this stupid idea I started saving Morrisons bags. I have two tea chests full.

[Bill Wright]

Apparently we can expect a doubling of cases of food poisoning as a result of this stupid idea.

[Fredxxx]

That's the sort of tat I would expect close to a pikey caravan, for other pikeys to admire.

[Fredxxx]

Why?

[RJH]

Good grief.

Only if you don't practice proper food hygene.
