Asda to charge 9p for a bag from this year

[Denver]

https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/asda-scraps-5p-plastic-bags-11972524
They are getting rid of the 5p carrier bags so you have to spend 9p for a bag for life :umm2:

[Vicky.]

I get the bags for life ones anyway tbh, the normal ones are crap.

I have a whole cupboard full of them and still forget to take them each time. So they are 'for life; in the sense that they will remain in my cupboard until I finally have a clear out, but not in the sense of 'buy once, use again and again'

[GoldHeart]

:joker::shocked: 9 bloody pence ?!!! . This is to put people off buying plastic carrier bags as we keep getting told how bad they are for the environment and blah blah.

[Niamh.]

9p for a bag for life? They're 75c here, think yourself lucky, it works though, you don't forget to bring bags in a hurry :laugh:

[Marches]

Good thought

[Underscore]

Good.

[Greg!]

Good they're helping the environment. Tesco ones are 10p so I never forget a bag!

[Denver]

I'm one of those people who carries it all in my hands if possible

we have 4 bags that hook over the shopping trolley, colour coded and attach to each other with velcro. then you fill them as you go around (bleeping your own stuff with the gun) and then you just lift it into the back of the car

you have to have a system

[Amy Jade]

they work a treat and they hold much more than plastic bags and you fill as you go around and have one bag for freezer one bag for bevvy etc

Tesco been only selling 10p bags for some time now

[Jessica.]

I haven't bought a carrier bag for years, we always use bags for life, we keep a few in the boot of the car and if I go shopping on my scooter I always use a backpack and have a spare bag under my seat. The handles of flimsy carrier bags hurt the skin on my hands anyway.

[bots]

if you get Asda home delivery, they charge a flat rate for bags, and without fail forget to bag it at least once in a 2 month period. Complain, and you get a voucher with a value that far exceeds the price of the bags for the 2 months .... easy really :smug:

[BBUK-Fan]

9p? No one will pay that exact amount so why not just 10p

[Cherie]

Thats Mr Cherie

Mr Sainsbury :fist:

:joker::shocked: 9 bloody pence ?!!! . This is to put people off buying plastic carrier bags as we keep getting told how bad they are for the environment and blah blah.

They are bad for the environment, I don’t think there is any doubt about that.?

So do I, sometimes a nice lady delivers it.
An even nicer man puts it all away.:love:

[Jay.]

[T*]

just put them in the trolley when no one is looking!

:joker: . I wonder if other supermarkets will be doing this.

[y.winter]

Well done :clap2:
Buy reusable bags - it's the best!

the standard bags are bio degradable, and much friendlier to the environment than a long life bag as they only last about the weight of a loaf of bread before they start disintegrating, so its actually more friendly to get the degradable ones :laugh:

A question for people who get their shopping delivered


I assume they deliver it in bags? if they do, do they charge for them bags? And if not, do they ask for the bags back?

Asda charge a flat rate of 40p and for that you could have 100 bags

They all charge 40p but you can decide at the checkout if you want it delivered in bags or not

I've been doing that too, recently. :)

Well, then buy a decent one I guess.
Biodegradable ones don't necessarily biodegrade by throwing them wherever you want and under any conditions (+the amount of time it'll take for them to disappear).

I always take my own bags anyway.

I have these too...make life so much easier and just chuck them back in the car when I've unloaded

[AnnieK]

Also when they first brought the bag charge in at Asda, the bags fir life had 2 bar codes, one charged you and one was a bag swap one. People in my asda used to scan the bag swap and got bags free....I tried it but they had just caught on that people were nicking bags and it set off the flashy light so I got busted lol. My criminal career was foiled before it got off the ground
