Newstalk ZB's own Ryan Bridge has hit out at the cost of paper bags at the supermarket.
Woolworths currently charges customers 40c per paper bag after plastic bags were banned from further circulation in July 2019.
The retailer has defended these prices - claiming the cost is designed to encourage customers to bring their own bags.
The Early Edition host says these bags are 'annoying' to use - and they don't properly carry your essentials.
"Forget eggs, forget anything else... just put a two litre bottle of slippery, wet milk into this thing and it can't handle it. By the time you get to your car, it's all over your floor and you've actually got to carry it like a baby."
