Hi, I'm just really amazed how much things have changed in 10 years. The hysterical reactions to Woolworths stopping the use of plastic bags & now because of this hysterical reaction they are giving away for next 10 days the 15 cent bags for free. In South Australia it's been 10 years since we fased out the plastic bags & went to re usable bags. How things have changed. There was no hysterical reaction in this state via social media, we just got on with the change, sure we might have forgotten to bring our bags a few times, & now it's just second nature. If we did forget, 15 cents for his sake isn't going to break me. Just shows the joke that is social media! These people carrying on seriously need to get a life!

Oh to add to this. We use paper bags for everything else. We put the cat's left-over fishy food in the deep freeze until bin day and yes, in a paper bag. We keep all vegie peels, cut offs etc. for the boy behind us and feeds this to his chickens, and yes, we put this in a paper bag. Know those ridiculously expensive bags you get in some stores with the string handles, even when you say you don't want a bag? Use them for this. Paper bags from Hello Fresh? Use them. Cold storage bag from Hello Fresh? Use that too. 'Nuf sed!
