Does anyone feel cheeky bringing another stores long life bags into a different shop? Does it matter which ones? Bringing a Lidl bag into Waitrose? Or vice versa?

1. Not at all. No need to be matchy matchy

2. Do you feel bad wearing clothes from Next when you go into Marks? It’s just a thing that you have.

3. No.

   If that shop had better designs on theirs I might have bought the bags from them.

4. I like to take unusual ones, e.g. Albert Hein in H-E-B

5. No, most of the time when I go shopping, I pay the store that I’m shopping in a lot more than I paid for the carrier bag so they can’t complain!

6. Nope. Sometimes I’ll swan around Waitrose with my Iceland freezer bag, just to really horrify them.

7. I like taking as many different ones as possible. at one point doing a Tesco shop we had, ASDA, Centerparcs, Morisons, Waitrose and Sainsburys bags. but no Tesco bag.

8. Nobody who works there gives a crap so I don’t.

9. Yes. I get crippling anxiety every time. After profusely apologising to every shop employee I see I immediately go to the freezer aisle and strip naked, covering myself only in that particular establishment’s bags for life so they can see I have nothing to hide.

10. No- now that all bags are charged for no-one need feel cheeky.

11. No. I load my Aldi shopping into sainsburys carrier bags and all my neighbours think I’m posh.

12. I use a black bin bag to exert dominance

13. My biggest bag for life is Lidl branded, ironically I rarely shop in Lidl and most often use it in their arch nemesis Aldi. I doubt they are bothered as long as they’re getting my money.

14. No, but then I don’t really use them. I use blue Ikea bags for shopping, two of them for a big shop, saves trips from the car to the house.

15. They’re delighted you’re not shopping at their competitors’

16. I like to do it on purpose as a joke because my mum would always accidentally take a different stores bag because she owned so many, can’t let them think I have any loyalties!

17. I’m conscious of the cheekiness – aware that I’m bringing a carrier from a different host – but I’m able to rise above it, know that I’m the master of my shopping, and I can carry my purchased produce in any bag, emblazoned with any logo I care to carry

18. My two favourite bags are from Lidl (huge) and Waitrose (average size). They go everywhere. No guilt.

19. I can issue you a solid gold guarantee, that none of the employees of any supermarket give a single fuck which brand carrier bag you have.

20. I sometimes feel weird taking an M&S bag into Asda, like people are going to think I’m trying to pretend I’m better than I am hahhaha. But not the other way around

21. Just think… If you’re using bags that aren’t their own then they won’t suspect that you may have stolen a carrier bag.

22. Not in the slightest. What an odd idea.

23. I only use the Waitrose ones these days. Not because of the brand, but because they’re the sturdiest, and yet cheaper than what Morrison’s are charging for a flimsy plastic one.

24. Course not, the supermarket clearly prefers you to be buying their food in a competitor’s bag, than using their bag in a competitor’s store

25. I do this all the time. I don’t think anyone cares tbh
