It is about time this is done. I usually bring my own reusable bags since I hate these plastic bags. Hopefully, this will catch on and everyone will bring their own bags. I think it will be a difficult change for some, tho.
can be replaced for free if it gets destroyed or damaged, anytime...
good idea though when you dont have any plans to go to carrefour but just happen to be in the place and suddenly thought of buying 2 or 3 small items, either you carry it by hand (like what the man i saw did tonight) or buy the big bag just to have somewhere to place the items
Good, at last no more plastic bags littering around.
They charge the thinner plastic bag for 15 cents (whatever in local currency) and I know for the sturdier bag (the one that cost QR2) you can change in the customer service once it's broken or damage. I changed mine last week and they changed it without any question.
I think you're referring to the re-usable bags tcom. They're now also charging for the plastic bags. You'll be able to bring your own, or they'll add a charge for the new ones you use. Best bet is to get the blue re-usable ones. Bigger and sturdier.
At last. We were calling for this to happen in a thread the other day. Hopefully people will consider getting the reusable bags now, or at least start packing more into each carrier bag.
I actually think it is a pretty good thing. Re-usable bags have been available for sale since the store opened. The amount of bags this place generates is insane.

I got the security guys to stamp the reusable blue bag after i bought it so dont get charged again.
The packing is terrible, and I politely refuse help packing as they seem obsessed with putting one item in a bag!!!!
I hope they will stop using plastic bags in Qatar
that's one of the best ways to save the environment
bag cost QR1 and the other .50 dirhams...

what do you expect from the French?
They eat horse, snails, and write books on how to surrender.!
Joke is that the plastic bags are tastier than their rubbish french produce.!
since when ????? up to yesterday only the free system of plastic bags were applied
We paid Qr 1 for the sturdier bag today and my friend paid Qr.0,50 for the plastic bag....

is called a "bag for life" also applied in such as TESCO, ASDA etc.
If the bag breaks they will replace it free.
We have them in our local Carrefour in Turkey. I don't if anyone has taken a broken one back yet to claim a replacement.

Hopefully they'll all start doing it now, and people will stop using the plastic bags altogether.
