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.

you have to have a system

i literally throw my head back and laugh at the peaso's with their queuing up and bags

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

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
