"I have noticed that every time I need to buy a plastic bag, the price keeps going up. It started at 15p and now it's 40p each, which is ridiculous. It's so unfair that we have to pay so much for these bags."
"We encourage customers to bring shopping bags with them to cut down on plastic, but we sell a wide range of reusable bags in case they are needed. Our cheapest Bags for Life cost 40p and are made of 100% recycled plastic. They can be reused many times, and if they become worn out can be replaced for free at our customer service desks and recycled again."
"My local Sainsbury's has increased the cost of a bag to 40p. 40 B***** PENCE. This is totally insane. We will lead the crusade against this tyrannical corporate greed!."
Lidl raised the price of its plastic shopping bags from 30p to 40p, triggering strong negative reactions from customers on social media. Shoppers posted complaints on Reddit, Trustpilot and X, referencing past lower bag prices and calling the increases unfair. Some customers urged supermarkets to stop producing plastic bags, while others emphasized the responsibility to bring reusable bags. Supermarkets such as Sainsbury's and Tesco have implemented similar price increases. Tesco highlighted that its 40p Bags for Life are made from 100% recycled plastic, are reusable, and can be replaced for free when worn out.
