Plastic bags - where?
« on: April 11, 2017, 09:42:45 AM »

In my old utility room I had a plastic bag holder which I screwed into the inside of the door in my old unit. I hesitate to screw anything into my brand new units.
Where do you all store your plastic bags and how??

My son made a drawstring bag in school many years ago which I use for my plastic bags. It lives in a kitchen drawer. Falling to bits now but does have fond memories for me.
Have you looked at the Lakeland website. They sometimes have good storage solutions.

I have a plastic bag holder on back of my kitchen door. Seldom used now as I have cloth bags I take shopping nowadays.

My shopping gets delivered in plastic bags which I re-use for cat litter. It must take the delivery man ages to take it out of the boxes if it wasn't. May try it this week and experiment!

I don't know who you shop with, but any delivery I've had has involved the driver taking out pallets with my shopping, rather than finding individual bags so it might not make any difference.

I keep the few plastic bags I have left in a drawer in the kitchen.

I have shopping delivered without bags. I refuse to pay a fee for bags.  the driver brings the pallets to the door where I am ready with a supply of shopping bags which he decants the items into for me.  :)

We shop in Supermarkets etc., so try to take 3/4  bags for life with us.  Usually they remain in the boot so one of us has to walk back for them  ::).  They are stored under the stairs ........ or used for kitchen rubbish that isn't re-cyclable.  I notice that the groceries that Mum has delivered are biodegradable  :o so can be used in the kitchen and transferred to the compost heap.

My driver takes the boxes containing my groceries in bags into the kitchen for me. I thought they all delivered into the kitchen! I don't fancy standing on the doorstep transferring stuff from the boxes into bags. Would they not still deliver into the kitchen if I got it bagless?

If they do itfor you now, I'm sure they still will. Asda only deliver to the ground floor of tenements and I refuse to cart my shopping up flights of stairs when I've paid for delivery!

The one and only time I had my Shopping delivered without bags , the driver just kept bringing the trays full of goodies and dumping them first on the step and then on the drive (IT was a BIG shop)  Then he just stood and watched me unload it all onto the floor in the hall.
Never again
Having said that I mostly go to the supermarket now as the shop is not as big (since children have left home) and always take re-usable shoppers so have very few plastic bags

I shop Ocado and they charge 5p per bag but refund 5p per bag for ANYONES plastic bags returned. I therefore always have a bag full of bags which are returned to the driver at the next visit.

Ocado are super obliging; crates are carried to the door to prevent breakages etc, they then carry the bags through to the kitchen and deposit them on the kitchen table. Works like magic!

I think Sainsbury's deliver to the kitchen, and at least Tesco bring it to the door of flats. Have to say there aren't many Asda deliveries round about since they changed policy
