Where do you buy those green Waitrose heavy duty shopping bags?

Where do you buy those green Waitrose heavy duty shopping bags?

I see people with them in their trollys, they stand upright (really good for the back of my car).

But I've never seen them for sale in there?

Are they to John Lewis credit card holders or something?

    My local Waitrose used to sell them but I dont shop there anymore so not really sure now.

    Its worth emailing them asking where you can get one or calling your local store and see what they say.

    If you sign up for the self-scanning system some stores still have the bags. Not all stores have the scanning system, of course.

    I got given mine when I signed up for self scanning (which is free of charge). They are pretty good bags.

    Thats like them.
    They don't look as heavy duty but that could just be the pansy colour:D

    So you sign up for self scanning & they give them to you free:j

    Are there any strings to self scanning?
    Do you have to sign up for a JL card?

    When I signed up, you had to have JL credit card so I got one and signed up. The following week, they removed the need to have the JL card :mad: so no, no strings now :)

    I'm not sure exactly what the Waitrose bags look like but these seem like a great idea and similar, I hope, and they look really easy to pack too.

    Maybe ask the manager at your local store, Waitrose seem to boast their uniquely fantastic customer service and I've seen these bags in many stores at the till point. Maybe if you ask the manager he/she may get a bunch in for the store.

    You can buy the bags for about £5 but you need to ask customer services as they don't normally display them.

    I've got one and its great!
