indeed, although I find it a more common tactic that they keep the packaging the same size but just reduce the contents.

They did the shop as usual and tesco wanted to charge them over £19 for carrier bags at which point they said to hell with u and walked out.
Apparently Morrisons are giving away reusuable bags free if u spend over a certain ammount.

I guess thats the one blessing of the online shop ripoff, we online customers still dont get charged for the bags although could be argued its inclusive on the delivery fee.
I see asdas £5 voucher if you spend £40, shows a lot whats wrong with the supermarkets at the moment, offers catered for families only as not many sinlle people will be spending £40 a week on food. Well I dont anyway.
