How many people reuse their carrier bags now?
The culture is changing and it is more normal to see bags for life now but I miss having the spare bags at home for all the uses I used to put them to Crying or Very sad

I never take them back to the shop, as I always have uses for them here, like selling meat, and putting it in, so the buyer doesn't get freezer burn! or using them for bin liners.

I don't collect many now as I've been picking up proper shopping bags from the charity shops. The ones I do have get used for bin liners etc.

we use ours for emptying things like the bathroom bin.

Our local sainsburys gave away bags for life last Friday, so I now have three in the car for shopping ... just have to try and remember to take them with me ... Confused

I use mine for upstairs bins, but mostly for changing the cat litter and dog poopy scooping. Yuck.

I have a 'proper' foldable bag in my handbag and another 'proper' bag in the car, and a collection of plastic 'bags for life' for when I do the monthly supermarket shop.

So where do all the carriers bags come from that are in the tube thingy in the larder I wonder... Confused

I don't really have a use for them, but there is a recycling point for them in the local supermarket so I take them there when there are too many.

We use carrier bags (mostly biodegradable ones) in the bins and for nappy changes (putting the dirty cotton balls in). We have almost dwindled our supply of bags, which I've been collecting for years, so now when I go to the shops, I actually don't take a bag with me and put my shopping in a new ploastic bag. At least the local co-op has biodegradable ones.
