We regularly get discount coupons and in my view they could even cut back on one of those to budget for this type of promotion. They could even just add it to their marketing budget because as you indicated they usually have their name advertised on the sides. Here's a quick piccie of what ours look like and they do hold quite a bit. We only need two for a full weeks shopping. <img src="http://www.etablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/StopandShop.JPG" alt="http://www.etablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/StopandShop.JPG" /> I think that they might be more apt to offer this to their loyal, regular customers.

I think you might be on to something here. We shop a Jewel food store in our neighborhood. I see 25% of the shoppers using the canvas bags and 75% using the plastic bags. The canvas bags hold so much more for one. I would be interested in pitching the idea to my local market but, they also sell their own bags. So they are in the money to market their bags. Maybe by giving away 1 bag might work. I can't see giving away 3. I like this idea. I think you might be on to something here. We shop a Jewel food store in our neighborhood.
