5P Per Bag North Of The Border
56 Answers
Lets assume the average shopper uses 5 carrier bags - Is 5p per carrier bag going to deter the vast amount of shoppers ?
Nice little earner for charities though - 40 Million Pounds potentially .
Would 5p per bag deter you ? - you lose far more down the back of the settee

Bags will continue to do so, as folk use them for bagging up rubbish and would therefore require to buy them anyway. The solution is not to find yet another charge for Joe Public just because another opportunity to do so has been spotted. The solution is to make them genuinely biodegradable into something environmentally friendly. My advice is to eat more from take-aways as they don't charge you further for the paper tray and foiled lid.
I`d probably still pay it when buying meat/poultry etc. I had one of the canvas bags for life from Sainsbury`s and God knows how much bacteria must have been asbsorbed from the leakage that you always get from meat packaging. I threw it away in the end. Even if I have my own bag, I still have to wrap the meat in one of the carrier bags. I re-use them as kitchen bin liners.
douglas9401: Agreed however there's a way around the McDonald's bag charge. Just order fries with everything. Last time I checked (fair enough it was a few years back) by law McDonald's are not allowed to serve food open (drive thru and 'take out'/'eat out'). As fries are open it's easier for the member of staff to put them 'open' in a larger bag with the rest of the food. On reflection of knowing this information I feel like I have somewhat, in the past, frequented McDonald's way way way too often.
