Aragorn wouldn’t mind how many trips it took you and would never question your masculinity, identity or worth as a person for it.

I shop at Costco, not even Aragorn, son of Arathorn, could bring all that bulk deliciousness in at once.

Sometimes it takes an army of the dead, if you want to bring home toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, and a rotisserie chicken home in one go.

It’s weird, because that would be true for almost anything else, but for some reason Aragorn really cares about the groceries thing.

aragorn would walk to the store daily and carry the items in his rucksack.

Real men bring their own large tote bag and don’t have to worry about carting 15 tiny plastic bags

A tote bag? A real man uses a duffel bag.

A REAL man uses MOLLE, large tactical rucksacks with PALS loops in place to attach any extra bags

Urban camo or black only, please, with flag patches affixed to every possible velcro surface

Fool, a man bothers not with bags, packages or any sort of vessel. For his hands have enough fingers to hold each fruit, each spaghetto and each grain of rice, and evey liquid from milk to bleach, without bottle, without mixing them and without a drop lost. If your hands cannot do that, they’re the hands of a woman.

Take as many trips as it takes. Those 3 minutes don’t matter. You’re just going to use them on Lemmy, anyways. Don’t strain yourself and don’t risk dropping anything. We’re all getting older and minor injuries take forever to heal now and if you throw your neck or shoulder out say goodbye to that stuff you wanted to get done this weekend.

My shopping trolley carries a literal trunk load of groceries. I walk it around town for two hours every week. Car-free is carefree, I don’t give a fuck how it looks.

Do you have any !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net shopping trolley recommendations?

I’ve only had two over the course of four years so I’m not qualified. I will say this: if you’re going to be walking outdoors a lot, consider avoiding ones with the triangle of wheels that go up stairs more easily. The smaller wheels are significantly louder on rough pavement.

Thanks, I’ll keep those features in mind!

My partner is like this. She’ll load herself up with this ridiculous tower of bags, books, purses, and whatever else she needs to bring in the house.

I don’t get it. Just make two trips. Just make two comfortable, casual trips, where getting to the door before your arms give out isn’t a challenge.
