Surely they don't have much free food to package though? They'll go bust very quickly if they carry that malarkey on very long.

could just return to paper bag, or glass, tin or even reusable plastic jars for such products.

Well yes, good on Waitrose - But this only really a thing if you shop in supermarkets, abandon Tesco et al, use your greengrocer and butcher. You'll get better, fresher stuff and you'll be using a lot less plastic...

For locals, Open Market in London Road is your friend here. As are the many wondrous independent food shops in the immediate vicinity. Value non-supermarket foodie heaven! :thumbsup:

Yup, I use Fiveways Fruits. Pick the fruit and veg you want and put it in a brown paper bag. Walk back home, put the food in the vegetable rack or fruit bowl or whatever, and put the paper bag in the recycling.

I should point out though that the shop isn't as cheap as ASDA; and whilst I'm not rich, I can afford to do this. An option which isn't necessarily available to people on low incomes..

Perhaps they could adjust their opening hours to suit .....i’d buy

Which is top advice of your local greengrocer (if you have one) fits in with your 21st century shift pattern.
