Ahhhh. One of the adjustments to maneuvering your life on foot or bus is grocery shopping. Well, the shopping doesn’t change, but the hauling home of the groceries is a new verse. CostCo is long ago fairy tale.
Living in a metropolitan area does provide the convenience of a major supermarket and relatively close Trader Joes. And, once a week we revel in Culver City’s year-round farmer’s market.
Even with these divine logistics, planning is required. It’s about buying all the ingredients for the next few meals versus stocking up. And striking a balance of heavy objects and lighter fare. On the upside, fruits and vegetables are actually eaten while fresh instead of withering away while waiting for the jars and cans to be diminished.
All of this recent toting has taken a toll on our inventory of cotton market bags, each received as gifts and branded with some event or logo. The last of the batch suffered a ripped handle Friday. We have yet to give in to the temptation of the granny cart; an ambulatory life can still be one of style. So, now we’re on the market for new bags to hold our bounty. Heading to Santa Monica for errands and this will be one of them. Some pre-shopping research online provided some dazzling styles, all in various shades of enviro-mindfulness. Who knew there were so many options!

The Boat Bags we received from you are great, though the big size we have could become very heavy! P&L
So, I'm just finding this blog and commenting years after the fact, but! Oh, you will one day love the power of the granny cart. It's ease. It's beauty. Behold, the granny cart is an urban dweller's dream carrier.
That was ITS ease, ITS beauty. Pardon me, all the exhaust fumes from my car are rendering me brain damaged.
we've heard this from a few stylish pals ... if we get one, we were thinking about having a "pimp my granny cart" party where we bejeweled and bedecked our carts.
wanna join us?
