So, with the demise of the 15c heavy-duty plastic bags, what’s a good replacement?

I’ve been using them since they were introduced - the best thing about them is that if you carefully fold then roll them, they’re amazingly compact, and you can fit like three in your back pocket, which is perfect when you don’t have a car and want to grocery shop on your commute.

The cotton and paper ones are just too bulky to carry around with you like this. I’ve found some thin nylon-type ones, but they’re pretty sad and small - has anyone found something that’s thin, large and sturdy?

    We have a couple of Spotlight bags (they’re a bit older; not sure they’re still making the same ones) that are about 50x50cm with a width of 20cm, made of nylon and quite sturdy. I always take one of these shopping for bulky but light items.
