I am 38 and I want one of those shopping trolleys that are basically a bag on a frame on wheels. I don't drive (don't start, tried both manual and automatic and can't get to grips with it also can't afford it) and I also don't like taking public transport so I tend to walk everywhere. But I also have hypermobility and during pandemic heights buggered myelbow carrying heavy shopping.
All in having a trolley would be very useful but I can't get passed being embarrassed about using one. Does anyone here have one that isnt of pension age?

Yabu you are still young and should put up with carrying everything it's extra exercise.

Yanbu go and get one they are fantastic. Age be damned.

I've used an ikea one for 15 years since I got it as a carless uni student. I only recently got a stair climbing one from Aldi at the start of lockdown. I think they look better than a suitcase (if anything looks a bit daft to me it's them, as you're not on holiday).

I’ve been thinking of getting one too as I’m not well enough to carry stuff. But I’m too embarrassed! I need to get a grip I know! Blush

I don't understand why you'd be embarrassed to be honest...? Just get one!
