Key point usually overlooked is that its not just supermarkets that will no longer offer carrier bags. Expensive clothes , delicate china and glass etc will all have to be crammed into your own bags. Of course you can still pay for one on top of the price of your shopping. Bonanza for shops and no requirement to think of biodegradable bags.

I have two cotton bags which were being given away by a store the last time I was in Australia. They are about the size of a plastic shopping bag and fold up very small and are easy to wash. I carry them in my handbag all the time so I never have to use the supermarkets bags

Good for you, hjJ. I have a stringbag and two bags that can be rolled up very small and carried in my handbag. Your crocheted bag is definitely superior. What yarn did you use?

In October, all the shops in England will be charging for plastic carriers. They already charge for them in Scotland. I have started making shopping bags.
Here is one I have just finished crocheting. My DD took another home with her and my DGD also nabbed one. I think I might go into production, they seem popular.
