I’ve been refusing carrier bags in shops for a number of years. Remember doing so in Littlewoods Exeter about 16 years ago & the sales asistant told me she wasn’t allowed to sell items without putting them in Littlewoods bags so I didn’t buy the item. Amongst others, I am still using a fabric bag that Mum made (she died 10 years ago God rest her soul) She made it from remnants of material and appliqued a design after going to embroidery classes. I have renewed the handles and it comes out of the wash good as new- have managed to get husband to start using fabric bags and he now sometimes refuses carriers.
