Thank you. Asking at the charity shop is a good idea. Don't know why I haven't done that before! Especially as that is where the majority of mine have gone.

The next time you take something to a charity shop ask there. They will have plenty and be happy to give you some.

My butcher provides them. I agree that they are useful for all sorts of things. We save them for the sending stuff home with the grandchildren and they often reappear.

I used to have a stash of plastic carrier bags in a kitchen drawer. I now use a shopping trolley and some cotton tote bags. My drawer is empty.
I need plastic bags for taking items to the charity shop, charity book shop, plants to friends, electrical items to be collected for recycling. All the things I used the supermarket bags for.

Where do GNs get their bags from? I have a couple of supermarket bags for life but they are quite costly now and too big and unwieldy for what I need.

I don't want to buy 100s or 200s on line, but maybe that is what I will have to do. I am glad that supermarkets no longer dole them out as it's now quite rare to see plastic bags blowing along the pavements. But don't get me started on cans and pizza boxes.
