We all know Marks and Spencer are now charging for plastic bags, which IS a good thing. I can't stand it when people complain about it.
But anyway, I can't see why all supermarkets nationwide aren't doing this. Just 5p a bag is all it takes. All of a sudden, people will start finding bags to bring along so they don't have pay that tiny charge. And if they've totally forgotten to bring their own bags, then 5p a bag isn't a wallet-emptying price to pay.
Here's an article from TreeHugger, explaining why Sainsbury's aren't doing this:

Here's a quote from them:
"We did a 'pay-for' trial some years ago where we did charge the cost price for carrier bags to our customers, but our customers where not happy and complained."
So what? Let them complain. It really doesn't take a lot to bring your own bags. It's just something people will get used to. All Sainsbury's are worried about is losing a few lazy customers. But if every supermarket did the same thing, they wouldn't need to worry about losing them.
There's some really nice reusable bags on the market. My favourite ones are the Envirosax range, and you can even get pouches of multiple ones.
Here's their website: Envirosax website
Or if you're in the UK, you can buy them from here: Envirosax bags UK

If its about reusable then you might love to try the stainless steel container at Happy Tiffin You can use it anytime you want, can bring it anywhere you go because its very convenient, portable and long-lasting. You don't have to worry because it's spill proof and waterlight so leaking is impossible unless you tightly lock it.
