Not sure if the reason for charging in the UK, but over here it's under the guise of 'Saving the Planet' when in affect it's a tax on the poor & working class.

I think 10p could well be to cover manufacturing costs and to prevent us using one bag one tin which we could all have been guilty of tbh.

No it isn't as these bags are re-usable and certainly in the case of Sainsbury if it does wear out they will replace it free of charge Whilst I'm not poor I haven't bought a bag for quite a few years ow

My local supermache has stopped providing plastic bags at all. Did I miss this 'shift' somehow or is it just yet another case of 'Kent is a sh!thole' being of adequate explanation?
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I actually got a free one from WH Smiths yesterday. Felt like a lottery winner.
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

25 kuros (that's about 1.5 p) per bag here. However, to 'save' money I simply nab some free ones you use to bag up fruit and veg.

Fruit and Veg bags. Sainburys and I think Tescos. 30p each! Keep them loose, more fun at the checkout.

We have a large collection of 'Bags for life' - as they Were advertised once upon a time. - that is the bags that are now about 30p from Asda and Tesco.. I took one back to asda the other day, as it had been completely overused and was holier than the archbishops colander, only for me to be charged for a Replacement ? It appears that the bag for life is the life of The bag - not the life of the shopper. suffice to say I left with my nose firmly out of joint
