Er... she walks; the trolley just rolls along behind.
Yes, our supermarkets all supply trolleys, but they cost £1 each. I've often considered that quite good value, but Marge won't let me keep them; she wants her £1 back.

Marge can carry them herself, although she does tend to struggle a bit when they're full. Naturally, I do my part - I put the car away.

If it's Marge's birthday, I sometimes help by lifting the bottom of the trolley as she walks up the 11 steps on our front path.
I'm nice like that.

No need to use the cart to take the shopping bags to the car. They're really quite light when they'e empty.

Re: Plastic Bags go up to 10p
We use two large plastic boxes that just fit inside a Tesco shopping trolley. Using the hand scanners means that we don't have to take out the shopping at the tills. Occasionally we get selected for a check, and it makes things easier for the assistant to check stuff in the boxes.They lift from the trolley into the boot, and then into the house when we get home. They sometimes get a bit heavy though with all Mrs Foxes Gin, wine and tonic water.....She has to ask me to help her in with them sometimes....

Re: Plastic Bags go up to 10p
We seem to have meandered a little bit of the plastic bags topic. Increasing the price or even banning them won't reverse the damage already done. And I don't see why we don't make the bags out of biodegradable plastic like the doggy poo bags.It's not as if they are expensive. A roll of 100 costs 44p.
