💨 Abstract

Supermarkets in the UK, including Tesco and Sainsbury’s, have raised the prices of their cheapest "bags for life" from 30p to 40p, sparking backlash from shoppers who call the move "ridiculous" and "a joke." While retailers claim the increase encourages reusable bag use and supports charities, many customers argue the bags should be cheaper or free, as they promote the stores.
