Press release announcing that "from today, across all its stores, Sainsbury's is to start selling milk in bags. The move could finally bring to an end the 130 year reign of the milk bottle. Compared to an equivalent two pint plastic bottle, milk in a bag will cost at least six pence less because it uses 75 per cent less packaging and is cheaper to produce. The cost of a 2 pint milk bag is 80p while a 2 pint milk carton costs 86p."
