Anyone got a shopping trolley?

[fryalot]

one of these I mean, I don't mean a supermarket trolley

Whilst wandering round the market this morning, it dawned on dp and I that this is exactly what we need to put the shopping in, therefore leaving two hands free for chasing after small children.

So am looking for one on-line and they all seem to be either really old-woman-ish, or really (I mean really) expensive.

Any recommendations?

M&S do them . And I have a nagging suspicion either Orla Kiely or Cath Kidston does them too...

I lingered over one in the family section of Ikea a couple of days ago..really wanted it too, but had an internal debate about looking elderly and left it there. It was only £11, probably should have bought it. Tits.

orla kiely do them - at £199.00 which would fall into my very expensive category.

M & S however, have one at £7.50 which is waaaay more my price range. It looks ok as well.

Off to M & S we go

thank you.

oooh - Ikea?

we're supposed to be going to Ikea next week... I'll have a nosey. eleven quid sounds ok

But aren't they for old ladies? i was thinking about this the other day. I'd love to use one (so convenient and no plastic bags) but I'm not ready to look like an old dear.

I'm thinking the Ikea one I wanted would be a bit too bright for an old lady's sensibilities

I've got one of those really old-fashioned wicker ones. My mum had one when I was a kid. It is really old-ladyish, but I was accosted by the lad who works in our local cafe/bar who said "Oh wow, that's really cool!".

If I had a shopping trolly it would have to be Orla Kiely.

I can't find the ikea one on-line. Anyone got a link?

and I think that if you had a tartan patterned one, people may think that you'd mugged your granny, but not with one of these

here's the orla kiely one

Is the cafe/bar lad very camp?

Fabulous, fabuous, thankyou sqonk! When my pushchair days are over I will be getting one!

no, fio. The ones from Morrisons have a quid inside them. Twould have to be one from Tescos - they're free

ikea one comes in fluroscent orange by i still couldnt bear to look that old before im 30!

Ah, those are nice Squonk. I think I'll deinitely be getting one. No more too-heavy plastic bags cutting my fingers to shreds.
Barnstaple, where can you buy the wicker ones?

There is a wicker one here:

And I can imagine DH's face if he found out how much I'd spent on a trolley

The Ikea one I saw (in cardiff) was pink and multicoloured pattern - but can't find a blardy picture anywhere, sorry

Get one - they are only perceived as being for old women because too many young people are too embarrassed to get one. They make perfect sense - why end up with arms like a gibbon, dragging along the road because of heavy shopping when you can have wheels instead. Everybody has a suitcase with wheels these days so why not a trolley (or a drag bag - google it). Also they are more green too and come in loads of funky colours.

I'm getting a cow drag bag though my Mum wants a navy one coz she's an old lady

Am going to get one of those flowery ones, I think Voluptua.

They're not at all old woman-ish and are quite reasonably priced.

Sorry Voluptua but most of those really are old lady bags.

voluptua - have you been away? I don't seem to have seen you around for a while.

(although since I put the "hide topic" button to work, I miss loads of regular posters)

I could go for one of these though.

Have a look at the Reisenthel one that I have been coveting for a while now.

My car is not going to pass its MOT this year and I am going to buy one then.

Even if DH thinks they are poncetastic.
