Just had this from Asda.........
Back in 2019 we stopped providing carrier bags for online orders as part of our commitment to reduce plastic.
During lockdown we wanted to help our customers as much as possible, so we started to provide carrier bags again.
Now things are getting back to normal, we'll be returning to our previous policy. This means you'll no longer see the option to add carrier bags for online orders. For safety and to ensure the quality of the items we will continue to put fresh produce, meat and poultry into bags.
What will happen?
From Friday 30 April you'll no longer be able to choose to add 40p carrier bags to your shopping. Please make sure you bring your own bags or boxes ready for your delivery or collection.
If you are self isolating because of COVID or are going to find packing your own bags a struggle, our colleagues are here to help. Have your own bags or boxes ready at your doorstep or in the boot of your car and our colleagues will pack them for you.
Thanks for supporting us in helping the environment. Together we can make real change.

@roz I agree about the Sainsburys bags for frozen foods... but I guess it is to keep them separate so the delivery person knows to put them in the freezer on the delivery van and labelled for a certain customer.
Another moan is that when we have takeaway delivery from our local Indian restaurant... they place the tin foil tubs in a paper carrier bag, then put that inside a plastic carrier bag....WHY???? @Happygirl @Pinkaholic79 ๐๐ฆ๐บ
