Reusing your shopping bags...

[tonyvid]

Great. Saves the planet, kittens get to see sunrises everyday and the sky is full of perfect little petals blowing in the warm breeze.

Didn't save my £8.50 bottle of red though, did it? I'd have a glass of wine to chill if is wasn't all over the fking carpark now.

Grrrr

[Slikk]

Lucky it was only a cheap bottle, eh?

[Scott330ci]

You shouldn't chill red wine.

HTH

[nonuts]

[Eddh]

I use them as bin liners

That is so PH, it was for er....cooking!

Mention it to customer services and they replace them quite often

Me too, done it for years.

These days give how thin new bags from supermarkets you are definately safer re-using older thicker ones. Either that or just double bag the cheap plonk.

That's a thought - might be tempted to stuff the bag up their personal refuse chute though!

Me to0 and might go back to using a whole lot more now. M+S charged me 5p for a micron thick bag the other day, it could barely cope with a bottle when new!

I use them for separating the recycling. For shopping we use the jute/canvas bags as (as per the OP) the plastic ones aren't that reliable...

Oh, and you may need to chill red wine, depending on how warm your particular room temperature is...

It was me that needs the chilling

[pokethepope]

Thats why if you re-use bags, you buy the re-useable ones...

ok, ok!

I prefer my cheap red in a brown paper bag so I can sit on the floor outside the supermarket and drink it. I often get thrown enough coins for another bottle.

Wrong.

Some reds can benefit from a little chilling, Beaujolais for example.

I was at Tesco yesterday and they said they've run out of normal bags and only have bags that you'd usually get from the Pharmacy section.. Useless.

She handily had a large amount of those 10p each bags for life though, ey!

I use them for picking up dog st when I take them out. I do however find it a chore washing them afterwards.

Washing machine, I'd imagine at a low temp?
