As long as the bags are durable and can withstand the weight than I’m fine with that. Prefer to use my cloth bags though.

I prefer my cloth bags. Hessian ones are the best 🙂

I love my Plastic bags what a shame they are getting rid of them

I haven’t used plastic bags in years so will be fine. I have reusable bags stored EVERYWHERE

I have foldable/washable shopping bags everywhere – handbag, work bag, car, pram, bike bag, they are ahndy for so many things and I have been using them for years, so this wont bother me at all. Glad they are finally stopping supplying them.

Always carry a bag in my handbag just in case. Have heaps in my boot.

I took my own bags when I went shopping long before the current episodes. I was brought up to take a string bag, or satchel whenever I went shopping. I have never needed or wanted plastic bags from the supermarkets, but I found that they often pushed them onto you as a way of advertising where you had just shopped. Sorry people, but my generation really helped this planet, not like those who have come after and buy to throw away.

I always have bags in my car and if I have click and collect, I’m given paper bags. I then recycle them so they get plenty of use before they fall apart

Its good for the planet and as much as i forget my bags, i know its for the greater good

I heard about this- it’s a good initiative. I already bring all my own bags and have been for a while now.

Woolies did this a while back. Just an extra money grab. If I shop in store I’ll take my own bags, but I do online shops alot and end up having to pay for bags

Sigh…. they just want to make more money out of us.

I think this is a great step forward. I will need to be more organised and ensure I have reusable bags with me as I always forget even though I leave them in my car.

I have heaps of the reusable bags that I take on my weekly shop. On the occasion hubby or son goes without any bags, they inevitably buy the plastic bags of which I now have quite a few. I re-use these too. I’m happy that paper will be the option, but will continue with my reusable bags.

Sounds good specially since the redcycle has stopped. So much plastic is around anyway!!

I normally get my groceries delivered but I always have my reusable bags in the car for when I’m at the shops. I just pack them when I get back to the car if I forget to take them in lol.,

Great move ! I always bring my own reusable shopping bags and have done so since 40+ yrs 🙂

They should stop selling all plastic shopping bags.

This is great. I always bring my own bags including small betting bags for my fruit.

I always bring my bags so it won’t change or make any difference for me.
