    Do you really think there will be ques outside the stores for these bags???

    What advertising has there been? I doubt the average joe would even know about them!

    The queues will be only with MSE posters! Anyway Sainsburys opens before 8am, so where are you going to queue?

    i have seen in a few newspaers online,don't even think its on the sains homepage - you do have to look around.
    there was even someone on ebay selling the info for £1 - ad was something along the lines of - the most wanted bag will be available from a high street retailer on wed....

    Honestly, what is so great about this bag? I just don't get it. It's a reusable bag, granted, but just because it's a designer bag and celebrities carry them around, does that really mean we all need to go crazy and either park ourselves in front of Sainsburys at the crack of dawn or buy one for silly money on ebay??? Or are you all planning to sell them on ebay yourselves in true MSE style?


    I don't get it either.............

    Now the big reusable gussetted bags with woven handles that Sainsburys sell are good. Much better than their 'bag for life' bags as being gussetted and standing flat they are much easier to pack.

    If Sainsburys were really on the ball they'd do what the French supermarket Champion do. They sell these large bags like the Sainsbury one but instead in four different bright colours each with a design in white outline such as flower, leaf etc. The supermarket logo is very discreet. Trust the French to come up with a chic carrier bag!!!

    I have 4 of the Champion bags - one in each colour and have been using them in Tesco or Sainsbury every week for the last 2 years since I bought them in France. I am often asked where I got them from because, as you say, they do look rather chic. They only cost 0.5 euros each and are still going strong. I even took a couple of them on holiday last year to use as family sized beach bags. They must have saved me from using hundreds of carrier bags by now.
  • Am tempted to nip down in the morning and try my luck in getting one (not to sell on, just to probably put in a cupboard and forget about) so to me this bag just defeats the object as is anyone actually going to use it?!
