Since when does Ikea charge for bags??

I just came from the Ikea in Hicksville and saw they charge 5 cents for bags. I had NO idea they charged for bags...kinda crazy. I asked one of the employees and they said they started this a while ago because they don't make bags anymore they actually purchase them recycled and charge 5 cents and donate it to help save the environment? While it's a good idea..I think it's a little crazy given the fact that they have a lot of small items in that store and who thinks to BYOB?

I do too, but there were some peeps making a HUGE stink over paying 5 cents and they spent over 100..come on...

I just wish I had known...oh well at least now I know.

I guess I did my good deed for the day..Chat Icon

It is a great idea! I have started using the "green" bags for food shopping too. I mean seriously....put more than just a 1/2 gallon of milk in one single plastic bag, please Chat Icon
