I'm not a plastic bag!

Sainsbury's have been selling cotton reusable bags to help cut down the number of plastic bags used. Nice idea.

Except that these bags have been designed by Anya Hindmarch, a VERY well respected designer, therefore the limited run of 20,000 bags have sold out almost immediately.

And now they are going for silly money on eBay!!

So if anyone has one, now you know!

Unlike This Seller who must be gutted at the BIN she listed at!!!

    Just make sure you post to a confirmed address only, check their feedback and send it special delivery. The last thing you want is to lose out to any mistakes with delivery.

    Everyone is laughing now but this will be a collectors item with Sainsburys replacing them for free with the bags for life.

    I think these are a rather good idea.

    Anything to reduce the amount of landfill :)

    People who buy things like this for 5000% their actual cost price really do give you an insight into how ridiculous society has become. Who will remember these in 5 or 10 years (months even...)?
