Why Supermarket Log Bags Aren’t the Bargain They Seem - And How to Get Far Better Value This Winter

When the cold weather hits, it’s tempting to grab a couple of small bags of logs from the supermarket while you’re doing your weekly shop. They’re right by the door, easy to pick up, and look like a quick solution for keeping your fire going.

But here’s the truth: those little plastic bags are one of the most expensive and least eco-friendly ways to buy firewood.

If you want to save money, reduce waste, and enjoy reliable, high-quality logs all winter long, here’s why buying local bulk bags from us is a far better choice.

1. Supermarket Bags: High Price, Low Value

Most supermarket log bags cost £6–£8 each, and inside you’ll typically find only 8–12 logs.

That works out to around:

£1 per log - or even more.

You’re paying premium prices for tiny quantities, because supermarket firewood is packaged, transported repeatedly, and marked up heavily.

Meanwhile, those small bags barely last an evening if you’re running a wood burner or open fire regularly.

2. Our Bulk Bags: Far More Logs, Far Better Value

Our locally supplied bulk bags contain around 250–300 logs, depending on log size and stacking. Our Jumbo bags contain even more!

Break that down and you’re paying:

Around 50p per log - or cheaper!

You get 25–30 times more logs for your money compared with supermarket bags.

And our Jumbo Bags offer even more value, giving you a huge stockpile at the best price per log.

If you’re burning regularly throughout winter, the saving is enormous - and you avoid the endless cycle of buying bag after bag.

3. Less Plastic Waste, Less Environmental Impact

Another downside to supermarket logs is the packaging.

Those bags are almost always single-use plastic - thin, non-recyclable, and destined for landfill.

By contrast, our bulk bags are:

• Reusable

• Longer lasting

• Used again and again for deliveries

• Far less wasteful than dozens of single-use plastic packs

So you’re not just saving money - you’re making a greener choice too.

4. No Heavy Lifting, No Last-Minute Rushes

Supermarket log runs usually happen when the fire’s already going out!

With a bulk bag:

• You always have logs ready to go

• There’s no panic buying in bad weather

• No dragging wet bags from shop to car

• We deliver straight to your home, meaning less stress and more warmth.
