Do you trust the freebies or the subsidised in-store efforts or bring your own?
A very worthy thread in my opinion.
It was about a mile from the nearest proper supermarket and I was just 200 yards from home when both bags emptied themselves on the road.
Wrapped up the valuable stuff by taking my coat off and fastening it to make an improvised bag, knotting the arms to make a handle. Went back for the rest as fast as I could, and fortunately nobody had nicked it or run over it.
Dusted off the frame rucksack for the next mega shop.

First (left hand) picture is of the markI carrier bag, a fair bit smaller than the mark II and stuffs in to a rectangular pouch (shown top left).

The second picture is of the markII carrier bag. No sling here as the carry handles are wide enough to slip over a shoulder, once the handles have been strengthened with a bit of sewing. It can be turned inside out to hide the kangaroo and logo.

It's only the middle classes who wouldn't be seen dead in Kwiksave. The true upper class don't give a toss what people think.
