Anybody else got loads of carrier bags who will think twice when they are being charged five pence each? The new bags are made from recycled plastic.

Asda carrier bags have a secondary use for me. I use them for non-recyclable waste so that my bin doesn’t get coated inside with rotting food.

So now I will have to buy some sort of suitable plastic bag to do the same job.

Someone explain to me where the saving is.

My other point is, do the new carrier bags have the Asda logo or name on them? If so then I, and all the other customers, will be getting charged for advertising Asda. Something wrong there.

I can feel an exchange of words coming up on Friday when I go and do my weekly shop.
