Coles is extending its giveaway of free reusable bags.

The supermarket chain - which had originally announced that Sunday was the last day shoppers in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia could get the 15-cents reusable bags for free - says customers are still getting used to its ban on single-use plastic bags.
