Tesco has announced it has doubled the price if its bags for life in an effort to cut the amount of plastic bags being sold in supermarkets.
The rise will be seen in all of its UK stores - although the move to 20p from 10p hasn't gone down well with all shoppers, reports the MEN.
Posting on Twitter, one shopper said: "Right since when have Tesco’s bag for life been 20p that’s ridiculous."
"@Tesco 20p for your bags? God is watching you," tweeted somebody else.
A third wrote: "Tesco’s bags are 20p. Be great idea to start investing in stocks."
"Tesco I thought you said 'every little helps' Why are your carrier bags 20p?" asked somebody else.
Christina Dixon, Senior Ocean Campaigner for the Environmental Investigation Agency, told the Sun: "Our recommendation is selling bags for at least 70p to truly drive the change we need to protect our environment."
Sainsbury's currently charges 20p for its bags for life. From July, Asda increased the prices of its plastic bags to 15p each.
Morrisons says it charges 30p per bag for life. Aldi's bags for life are currently priced at 20p.
