I know they get a lot of hate, but I actually like the new short Coles paper bags. They have about the same effective carrying capacity (unless you are buying something really light like a bulk purchase of marshmallows) but are much less likely to end up torn. They also seem more stable, things don’t end up rolling around inside the bag as much. The larger bags almost always ended up torn during delivery when they had cans of cat food and similar in them, it hasn’t happened once with the shorter ones.

I have not had the same experience. I find they all rip in no time. The plastic ones lasted 10-15 uses. The paper ones are lucky to last 2.
Same. It’s odd going from paper to plastic to paper again. And it’s shite paper. At least we could reuse plastic bags.
