My Beautiful Ems

A Tesco carrier bag is even cheaper. It's free.

Not so sure any more since they introduced this 5p charge for each of their pitifully thin carrier bags. Soon mounts up when you're buying a lot of groceries at a time.

Mind you, all stores charge for theirs ... seeing as it's a mandatory requirement nowadays. Fine, though, if it discourages people using them - thereby leaving less litter blowing around in the wind following their [often] careless disposal. Besides ... ... we seldom need them as we tend to use a shopping trolley for bulky purchases.

Ah ... as an afterthought, I wondered if that might be the case, Michael. Aldi & Lidl have always charged for theirs of course, since this is evidently ... ... the practice in Germany.
