New eco-friendly carrier bags at Aldi have been greeted with a mixed response from the supermarket's customers. The bags, which cost 15p, went on sale for the first time last week.
The brown-coloured bags include an image of a leaf in the shape of a love heart alongside the words "love your planet". The bags also bear the message: "Choose me. Use me. Recycle me."
The Manchester Evening News reported that one shopper, Holly Barton, posted an enthusiastic message about the bags and shared a picture of them in a Facebook group. But some members of Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK made it clear that they were unimpressed.
