The scandalous price of Morrisons plastic bags.
 
60p.

60 bloody pence for a carrier bag. Shocked to the core :oh:

They are only 30p in Tesco.

That's too much for a bag.

i would not pay that and they have the cheek to push those sh1te paper bags too

I would just say no bags and let them beep everything through, then go "what now" as I stare down at the massive pile, before staring the cashier in the eye, making them blink first by giving me free bags to appease the disgruntled shoppers waiting to have their stuff beeped.

I think Ocado charges 10p per single use bag which is the minimum they are allowed to charge by the government. They also give cash back for any bags that you return

Morrison's went downhill after the Yanks took over. It's just not the same.

Morrisons do the best prosecco. I get loads of bottles from there at Christmas.

Take their paper bags instead, they're brilliant and they're at least 20p cheaper

Yeah take the paper bags then when it's raining you also get to play a fun, tense game of desperately-yet-carefully hustling to the car before the bottom rips open. And you get a bonus round two getting from the car to the house, with increased difficulty because of the time it's had in the car to start dissolving :worry:.

I love a bit of peril with my groceries.

Yep


Paper carrier bags are a no-no ..

I can only imagine that the yanks use extra toughened paper , carrier bags .

I remember thinking it was funny watching 70s and 80s American sitcoms where they would come back from the "Groshery" store with arms full of brown paper bags when we were using plastic bags

Yeah .. that’s were I got those lasting images from !!

Nowadays its crazy in the states ( well Orlando) ..the supermarkets seem to keep different types of things apart .. so you end up with 20+ plastic carrier bags .. one will have butter in , another will have bananas , another will have hand wash and so on. .

Ridiculous

( oh the bags are free as well )

Those paper bags are useless...

.

Hmmm, take your own bags.
We get most of ours delivered but we have good strong bags for when hubby goes to the supermarket.
Bought them years ago to try and stop using plastic.

They are probably fine in countries where it rarely rains

That’s the price you have to pay for leaving your bags at home :shrug:

People should be encouraged to reuse bags tbh, 60p ain't enough.

would it not be better to stop the food industry using them first?

go for the bit of the iceberg below the surface?
