I assume those sealed trays are the same as we have here in Aus - they
can and do leak sometimes.

As for using the reusable bags - I don't. I *want* the plastic shopping
bags, I find them very useful here, mainly to use as a bin liner in the
kitchen. But I use most of them to bag up portions of pet meat, which
then goes into the freezer.
I don't buy enough stuff in shops to keep my supplies up, so I get
friends to collect and keep 'em for me.

What gets me, I've seen on a number of occasions ppl using those
reusable bags - and yet they still buy plastic bin liners...
