Woolworths has today announced a major backflip on the plastic bag ban it put in place in its stores across the country, saying it will now give away free reusable bags to its customers.
Think that's a play on Brain surgeon and Rocket scientist, but you prob know that.
Perhaps we should be putting all those products in the mushroom paper bags - just to make a point.
Good idea, except we might pay 11.99kg for our 3.99kg tomatoes.

We were at Woolies yesterday and took our Aldi bags for them to pack items in.
Cash register guy didn't say anything, if he had, I was going to ask him if a clothing shop would deny him service
if he entered the store wearing his Woolworths uniform. 
Wife said we should buy some Woolies bags to use at Coles. 
And......
“Our new reusable bags are made from at least 80% recycled plastic, they’re stronger than single-use plastic bags and can be recycled at the end of their use, which will help reduce the impact on the environment,” it said in a statement.
Isn't that similar to their other single use bags which could be recycled by returning them to the store and put
into the red bins,(I knew a store that 2 of those bins to start with,reduced it to one and then "hid" the bin and
people ended up taken them back home and most of them got chucked or taken to the Op shop).
The Op shops made then have to ask that people bring in their own bags and have someone check them on
the way out.
Next thing will be that the garbage bag price will go up due to demand and they'll come up with some excuse to
say that they wish there was a better alternative for the environment,(whilst raking in the profit from the "new"
bags).
In the end that's what it's all about,(they used to have to buy bags to give away for free and now the customer
has to pay for their own or buy one of their over priced ones).
Which adds up to more profit for them,
