Just a bit of info really, Sainsbury's state ''This is to support plastic reduction and our Plan for Better''
Sainsbury's Bag for Life prices increase incoming from 20p to 30p and this will come into effect from 15th June.
''we offer reusable ‘bags for life’. These are made of 100 per cent recycled content and are entirely recyclable. So, when they do wear down, we replace them for free, while recycling the old bag to be used again.''

What is the Plan for Better
The environmental and social challenges that are facing the world have never been greater. The food we eat, and how that food is produced, sourced, packaged and disposed of has major consequences. By Helping Everyone Eat Better we are committing to play a leading role in offering delicious, affordable food that supports healthy and sustainable diets and helps customers reduce their impact on the planet one plate at a time.
Our Plan For Better sets out our sustainability goals across our whole business, outlining our priority areas of focus, our key commitments and our progress. We have identified areas which matter most to our stakeholders and are aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, so that we can make the biggest difference.
Our Plan for Better has three interlocking pillars; Better for you, Better for the planet and Better for everyone.

sorted byThe increase in price for plastic bags are just to cover their losses from the other side of business.
If people are never bringing their own bags that's a different matter, but paying out 30p per bag each time, that's soon going to cost them but won't overly penalise the well meaning person who forgets very occasionally.
I find the strength of the bag to be lower quality compared to Home Bargains, Iceland and Tesco bags.
I wish more places would do paper bags like iceland do, at least they get ripped up and put in my compost bin after im done using them.
It's only single use bags that need to be reported to the government, Sainsbury's only sold 977 single use bags in England in 202-21 so that was only £40 profit.

Will stick to Aldi and M&S as food quality is far superior and not stupid prices for a bag . The food was awful quality too .
Thought everyone would do the same but I guess not!
I rang their customer care and they were not interested.
Lost ALL my future custom!
Answer They still use plastic carrier bags even though you have requested for them not to deliver any groceries to your home with carrier bags as requested on Morrisons online website delivery preference you can't win
and wait for it they charge you £0.10p per bag even after you have told them not to do so
Morrisons what is the point, your basicly changing all the rules to suit yourselves with no care for your customers. (edited)
