Strange how most of the rest of us can manage.

Re: Coles have reversed their plastic bags decision, will start handing them out
Hmm, kind of makes me think.
If we are all expected to now bring bags everywhere, and pay for them, why not just change the entire thing?
Specifically, why not have a collapsible trolley that you can take to the supermarket, fill up with stuff as you go round, refill after paying, then put directly in the boot, and take directly from the boot to the cupboard when you get home?
In short, no bags at any point?
In the same vein as the granny trolley, but not with the same negative optics.

Nothing wrong with reusable bags; stuff them in my rucksack (which holds half the shopping on the way back) take out and use at the shops. When they don't do the job anymore then use as bin liners.

Re: Coles have reversed their plastic bags decision, will start handing them out
Any 2 dollar coin would be found and used by the time I'd get to it :-) It's also remembering to fetch it from the car as most of my stops are ones where I am moving fast. Most of the time, I'm only in for a few things anyhow.
I liked using the smaller bags as bin liners as you can get items out of the house and in the wheely bin on a warm day without a huge bin in the kitchen. We've had a smaller bin sized for such bags under the sink for years. Worked for us.

Ergo take your time shopping, families can save themselves 80 bucks on their weekly spend..... Not sure how long it takes you to earn 80 bucks take home, but thats what a trip to Aldi for a family can save.... 270 V 190 bucks.

Shopping, especially at Aldi v Safeway or Coles, should be seen as a money making exercise rather than spending
