ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
Was in ASDA today doing the weekly shop when I discovered these bad boys!
It's actually a 'Mesh Washing Bag' 50cm x 36cm. Feels really sturdy and with a zip, this should work a treat.
Alright for £1!

These are also available on Ebay at great prices.

Used the Sainsburys ones a while ago. Cracking pieces of kit for next to no money. Bet they're cheaper at Asda though 

Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
Those look good! Any good for pellets?

Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
Hmm... Not sure. Is there any way to find out? (Apart from lead poisoning symptoms of course!)
Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
I suppose for that money you could just cut the zip out. Tie it together instead with string?floydmeddler wrote:Hmm... Not sure. Is there any way to find out? (Apart from lead poisoning symptoms of course!)
Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
There was a scandal a few months ago because some children's toy that was made in China turned out to have been painted with lead-based paint.
But as myke2008 said, if you're that worried, you could just cut the zip out and tie it up with some string.

Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
Not worried to be honest... doubt it's lead based.
Re: ASDA Smart Price Hop Bags!
Well I'm not dead yet and have had no ill effects from mine. They are perfect for pellets if you haven't got a decent hop stopper like Scooby's et al
