I'm not a plastic bag

[jmck66]

Well, that was crazy!! Went to my local sainsburys store this morning to try to get an 'I'm not a plastic bag' bag for my niece and there was a queue and had been since 4.30 this morning. They only had been allocated 30 so it was first come-first serve. Why don't they just make enough for everyone? Now, hey presto, there's over 300 on e-bay for around �200 a piece - ludicrous...

I was going to try and get one.
But after reading your post I don't think I'll bother!!

I certainly don't want one that much!!!

I went about 9.30 after taking the kids to school, all gone of course. 30 per store is stupid, just a marketing stunt by sainsburys as they clearly aren't interested in selling any to the customers who want them.

I don't think it's anything to do with Sainsbury's. It does state on the Anya Hindmarsh website that all the bags sold out in the UK very quickly and that when Sainsbury's do get them, they will be limited to 30 per store.

There will be hundreds of fake bags being sold at markets all over the country in a couple of weeks. Save the planet and encourage sweat shops and child labour at the same time.Great idea. If they made enough to go round at �5 people could buy the real thing instead of knock offs which only go to fund crime and other peoples pockets.

Yeah, it is pretty rich of Sainsburys and Anya Hindmarch. A blatant PR stunt (a pretty good one at that). If they really wished to contribute to saving the environment, then they'd have manufactured as many eco-friendly 'I am not a plastic bag' bag's as possible to ensure that as many people as people were using them. Shameless promotion.

And lets be honest, how many of the people that purchased them after queueing in the wee hours of the morning are going to use them to carry around onions and milk?

The cheaper option and looks just as good! LOL

oh my goddd!! ii know i had the same problem- its cos all the celebs r usin them + so now, instead of them being used as there purpose, there being used as a fashion accesory- its ridiculous! x

its stupid the way people are selling them on ebay! i mean come on �150 for a bag thats only a fiver. what are people stupidly dead in the head?! lol it annoys me that people have the cheek to even think of wanting money for it. give it few months and they will be just like every other celeb based item. . . lke the mqueen scarfs people wanted sooooo much for them and now they are being auctioned off at like �20 the most. its just people being greedy wanting more for something thats not worth more.
