Amazing money-saving hack hidden in Coles and Woolies Christmas shopping bags
Woolworths and Coles have released specially designed paper bags ahead of the Christmas period, with many praising their multi-purpose usage.
The 25 cent bags feature a Christmas design, and are meant to be cut open and reused as wrapping paper for Christmas presents.
Shoppers have been sharing their delight at the discovery on social media, with many praising the supermarket giants for encouraging recycling.
A member of the North Shore Mums Facebook group shared the revelation, writing, "PSA: the Christmas woolies bags are designed to be cut open and used as wrapping paper."
Both Coles and Woolworths bags include cutting lines to help those planning to use them as wrapping this festive season.
They added an edit to the post explaining the bags could also be cut into squares around the decorations and used as gift tags.
Other alternatives to pricey wrapping paper include tea towels, paper that has been decorated by children in the family or making the most out of reusable gift bags which can be collected and saved for the next occasion.
With many families anxious of excess spending during the festive period in the face of the ongoing cost of living crisis, the reusable bags are set to be a welcome hack for those trying to be money conscious this Christmas.
