Mercadona Bags
February 7th, 2011 - Sandra Marshall
I am now the proud owner of 2 of these more heavy duty bags, priced at 60c each, and I have to say that I rather like them. I decided not to go crazy and buy lots, but looking at my shopping at the check-out, 1 was obviously not going to be enough. They have 2 sets of handles including shoulder ones, and if not over-loaded I think they will do me quite a few shops. They also fold neatly for storage in a cupboard.
Overall I prefer them to the cheaper (one shop only) versions that I got to try throughout January and I am also feeling rather smugly environmentally friendly. I am also impressed by the attractive design and actually discrete Mercadona logo … not what I expected. Once you have bought one they get stamped so that ownership is clear, and you are not asked to pay again, so everything is very organised.
The one potential hitch could be however, remembering to take them out of the cupboard as you dash out of the door to the supermarket. I have a feeling I could end up with more than 2 pretty quickly! More speed and less haste, or whatever the saying is, IS going to be needed.
