Weigh & Store Bags

Weigh & Store Bags

I bought these bags earlier this year to put my new year's resolution of using fewer plastic bags into practice. And it has been going well, as these are now used to carry home my loose veg, especially onions, which are much cheaper loose than pre-packaged.
They also get me talking to checkout staff and fellow customers, who are all very jealous and looking slightly sheepish at using lots of plastic bags. Now he's spotted an opportunity to claim the moral highground, my husband will make sure we bring them along for every shop... ;-)
I am happy to recommend these little bags, with only one little reservation. You know when you weigh your shopping and print a little sticky label? Well, they don't stick to these bags, so if there is ever going to be re-design, please can we have an area for sticky labels? Not too good, mind you, so the stickers come off again and the bags can be reused. In the meantime, if you fold them over, the labels usually stay near the bags, at least until after the goods have been paid for.

These bags are just great. Cashiers are impressed when I insist that items are not removed for weighing. They cause quite a stir with other shoppers, they want some. I recommend that they look at Lakeland website as nearest shop is too far away.

These are really useful in the supermarket and it's amazing how many fewer plastic bags I'm throwing out. They have another use too - if you like the sort of bath bombs that have seaweed, flower petals etc in them, you'll be familiar with the blocked plughole afterwards. To avoid this, simply pop the bath bomb in one of these bags and drop it in the bath. Hey presto, all the nice essential oils dissolve into the water but the bits stay in the bag. Let it dry and then turn it inside out over the bin to empty the bits.
