pretty piss poor effort by the supermarkets and more so regulation,
coles and Woolworths, are still supplying a thicker tougher longer lasting plastic bags, @ 15 cents, most people wouldn't bat an eyelid at paying 3 dollars for 20 bags in a $300 shopping bill,
I've been using the same French Eco sack from French supermarkets Champion, Le Clerc, Carrefour, for 13 / 14 years, we did a little research a couple of weeks ago, Coles packed or standard weeks shop in 28 plastic bags, on top of that everything else that's wrapped in pvc and poly based products
