Brown paper bags
Is it just me, or are the brown paper bags in the supermarket getting thinner? I bought 6 mandarins, folded the top over and the bad split. It took me two bags, and the lady at the checkout took them out of the 2nd bag to weigh them, so that i was not over charged.👍
I also had a leak in a tray-packed chicken, which dripped onto a bag and guess what happened.
I know for a fact we throw out more produce than we used to, through not being able to see inside the bags, let alone these silly incidents.
I am not complaining, just pointing things out.
