I'm without an automobile for the first time in 63 yeas. Sold both my beloved 1999 Saturn and my Nissan

17. I've given a lot of thought about a cart. I've held back because I don't want to drag it along on my

50 minute to-grocery-store walk. And then what to do with it at the store. Chain it up outside? Try to put it on the shopping cart in the store?

I've got a heavy-duty kind of heavy dolly. Someone who shops with a cart and takes the same bus has a reasonably sized cart for the job, but heck it only handles 2 large bags, but I suppose I could make it work for the other two bags, hang them from the handles.

Anyway, the only real challenge and the only use for the cart is the 2/3 mile home with groceries. I keep telling myself to get like 20% fewer groceries and take 25% more trips, but I end up with 4 heavy bags + heavy backpack almost every time. Anyway, good upper-body strength exercise. With the shoulder-bag contraption working, I have to put the bags down maybe just once to rest. Carrying all 4 bags by hand the regular way, I maybe have to put them down about 8 times to rest.

Thanks much for used car buying encouragement. I'm glad it worked out.
