Do you keep ‘naice’ carrier bags..

[Seenonchannel4]

I’m obviously turning into my mother (who never chucks anything away) but post-Xmas, I’ve ended up with some posh carriers - the ones you get from nice clothes shops.
Seems a waste to just throw them all into the recycling. If you keep them, what do you use them for?!

I keep nice carrier bags to,um,carry around in my bag for when I need a carrier bag... ().It cheers my up a little bit to have something betters than an Asda bag.I am a sad person,obviously!
But I did make myself recycle the thick paper bags ( such as Monsoon give you,for example) because I never reuse those even though I am sure they should be useful for something...

I keep ALL carrier bags - they're 5 or 10p a pop now!

I keep them all and reuse them until they fall apart, then recycle.
My mum just gave me a load that she’s been hoarding. Some of them are 20 years old and are gift bags I remember getting at school

I keep them all
Sometimes there packed lunch or shoes for work bags

I keep all carrier bags to reuse them... not paying 10p every time we go shopping!

Recycle the bags or use them indoors only. Think it looks silly and obvious when people take the posher bags into shops and supermarkets months later. Totally out of place!

I have never ever, not once in my life, noticed what bags other people take into the supermarket!

I keep all carrier bags to reuse anyway.
I did before the charge came in, tbh. Why would you throw something away that you can re-use ?

Better / stronger ones I use for keeping in my handbag / the shopping trolley / the cars to use when you next go to a shop.
Cheaper ones I use if I need to put something wet or muddy either inside another bag (say a swimming costume) or in the car (say football boots or rugby boots or walking boots etc).

I have a collection of them if you need to carry several things and won't be getting the bag back - so donating at Harvest or to the foodbank or to a charity shop or when sending things in to school.

If you don't ever use them yourself, the foodbanks are always in need of them - please don't just put them in the bin or recycling.

Of course you keep them!! If not what do you keep in your carrier bag cupboard???

I keep bag for life bags only. Those posh ones annoy me, but the charity shop is always pleased to have them for the counter!

I only keep bags for life too, everything else gets recycled. I used to keep stuff but lived in a huge house, moving and downsizing was a nightmare so when I am tempted to keep something that I don't need - like a nice poshly branded ribbon/card/paper carrier bag I remind myself of all the crap I had to get rid of!

Councils cannot recycle carrier bags so every person who's put them in the recycling has condemned that entire lorry to landfill.
They should be returned to supermarkets only.

You are wrongly assuming that they are all plastic and we are thick 1vandal2.
