High-street shoppers could save money on Christmas wrapping paper this year due to the return of a popular product from clothing retailer Primark.
The Irish fashion chain, which has branches in Newcastle city centre, the Bridges and Metrocentre, has brought back its brown and red striped bags, which shoppers have said are thick enough to safely wrap packages and send them in the post, Hull Live reports. On Facebook's Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, shopper Fiona Spriggs posted to say that she was already making use of the bags: "Free wrapping paper and gift tags made out of Primark bags."
Others added that they have already started using the bags to wrap gifts and parcels, with Christmas less than two months away.
