With the so called down-market supermarkets you don't free carrier bags.

Which is a pain in the backside.

FWIW Andy, aren't we supposet to be doing our bit for the environment
and re-using the 'free' carriers we still get given in most places?

If I know I'm going food shopping (Sainsburys) I take some of the
stronger ones you 'lease' (if they break / wear out they give you a
free replacement) and they give you a penny off for each of your own
bags you bring / use (it's not the money but the principal here).

If I haven't planned on shopping I generally keep a few disposable
ones in the car / motorcycle / cycle / jacket pocket just_in_case?

All the best ..

p.s. We give all of our surplus carrier bags to a local cycle shop.
