'Tesco in the UK ... give you the option of choosing not to have you groceries delivered in plastic bags.'

But the benefit has to be offset by those who choose to have bags because you get 10 times as many bags as you would if doing the packing yourself.

Not sure of the exact cost but there is a flat charge so it is the same for 1 bag or 100.

Doesn’t the bag charge apply to delivered groceries?

It does but you don't pay 5p per bag as you do in store, you pay something like 40p regardless of how many bags are used.

'Without bags' isn't always practical with some homes where there is restricted access.
