That's ok as long as you haven't used them for kitchen bin liners or waste food.

From my frequent and earnest observations of defecating dogs
, I can say that thinner and smaller plastic bags are usually used - and the size colour and consistency of their contents are clearly visible. yuk/hughie

Think dog poo, think Margaret R.
Oooh that didn't sound too good did it. I don't mean that to sound horrible.
Margaret's a star with her dog poo, fluoride, chemicals etc.
We love you Margaret R.
Nappy sacks for my two doggies poops!
Although one of them is a Rhodesian Rigeback so there are time when a carrier bag may have been better

Got lots of substance those bags haven’t they
unlike alsis bags , how they have the nerve to charge for them is beyond belief , 2 bottles of milk and they split
Sod the till girl Anne you don't have to buy their carriers
well I did my monthly shop at asda tonight and went prepared, the till girl was laughing her head off at the varied carrier bags I had...
the freezer stuff went in thick o2, topman & matalan bags
I had morrisons, co-op & various clothes stores... she almost cheered when I pulled out an old asda one
In fact I didn't use any of their bags on offer at all and they were still handing out the free ones, the 5p ones do look very sturdy and only have asda in really small writing in the middle, but didn't need any of those either

Apparently they have now run out of the 5p bags at Asda Accrington and are having to use the free ones!! People are going mad wanting to know why they were made to buy some the other day.
In defense of Asda though these same people who paid 5p for their re-usable carrier bags didn't bring the bleedin' things with 'em!!
Nowt as queer as folk is there?

Nipped into Aldi last night and their carrier bags are nine pence same as Netto Guess who will be keeping some in her handbag from now on?

Armed with 4 free carrier bags gained last week dispersed about my body I set out on my weekly foray to Asda, Grimshaw Park, Blackburn ready to make my point about the carrier bag policy change.
The first thing that I noticed was that there was no ‘Greeter’ around so that sort of spiked my guns a bit. There is no point in whinging at the checkout people. Although they could report back to their supervisor I suppose but it wasn’t really their doing.
Amongst the display of sweets etc adjacent to each checkout I spotted Hessian shopping bags for £1 suitably daubed with the Asda name. Remaining icily calm and collected I asked the checkout girl what the deal was with carrier bags.
Pointing to the dispenser that used to hold the free carrier bags she declared, “These are now 5p each. But they are re-usable.” However the cost of these bags was not posted on the dispenser. In fact there was nothing to indicate that these new carrier bags were for sale and not free. The customer finds out when he asks for one.
The bags that she was referring to were being promoted as being made from re-cycled plastic. I wonder how many people mis-read that and assumed that the bags themselves were re-cyclable? The bags, coloured green, had the Asda name prominently in the centre.
Anyone like to guess which colour is normally associated with Asda and has been long before the green issue became an issue? Correct – Asda livery is green.
So even if these 5p bags did not sport the Asda name it would still be obvious which supermarket they came from.
I declined the offer of the new carrier bags loudly enough for nearby shoppers to hear me, with a comment about not paying Asda money so that I could advertise their store, which prompted the checkout girl to produce a few of the old free ones.

Did you take some free ones then?
And will you do what Mick does and turn them inside out?(though you can still clearly see the Asda brand name)

Bought my 1st lot of 5p carrier bags from Asda the other day, I say 1st lot cos no doubt I will forget to take them the next time
These bags are the bags for life, you pay 5p for it and if it breaks, gets a hole in it, is wearing thin, they replace it, for nothing
You are only paying the 5p once, per bag, unless you forget to take them back
Also, if you take in your own carrier bags, any, M&S, tesco, asda, whichever, they are giving vouchers for schools out, for future recycling equipment
