Two eco-surprises at the shops today

Biodegradable toy stuffing doesn’t seem a good idea ! What if it disintegrates inside the toy !

Old tights are good for stuffing cushions.

I frequently want 2 or maybe three tomatoes, not a pack of six or more. I live on my own and want the food fresh when I use it and not so much I end up throwing some away.

Well Sainsbury's bags are okay but if you want a selection and you do not have a bag with you you could spend a fortune at 30p a bag. I buy loads of fruit and veg.

I always find plenty of uses to reuse my plastic carrier bags...what I wonder is what to do when my supply runs out?

How do I send friends and family home with items if I don't have a bag to give them?

I use reusable for my shopping but I am not going to want to spend 30p for bags to give away all the time.
What do other people do?

re the stuffing can you use cut up old clothes?

I think supermarkets ditching bags is a bit of a greenwash, myself. Everything in supermarkets with few exceptions is in plastic from cucumbers to smoked mackerel.

I got a biodegradable bag from the co-op last week.
It fell apart and I almost lost my shopping in the road on the way home.

Barclays Bank no longer give away pens made of plastic.

I thought you meant sage and onion stuffing was going polyester free ???

I'll be 'stuffed' if polyester stuffing is replaced by wool in cushion pads, because at the moment, they are my go- to source of (cheap) soft toy stuffing!

I wonder what the cheapest, washable, environmentally-friendly alternative is.
