Overview
- The supermarket has raised its cheapest reusable bag from 30p to 40p, with the new price taking effect across all stores this week.
- Tesco says the bags are made from 100% recycled plastic, can be reused many times, and are replaced free at customer service when worn out.
- The new price brings Tesco in line with competitors, with Sainsbury’s and Asda at 40p, Morrisons at 60p or 40p for paper, and Aldi and Lidl at 30p.
- Customer reaction has been mixed on social media, with some criticising the higher charge and others urging shoppers to bring their own bags.
- Separately, Tesco will end Evri ParcelShop services at Tesco Express sites on November 28, with a 10‑day grace period for parcel collections after that date.
