What would you recommend that we should buy?

I use something similar for summer grocery trips. I put some blue ice in it before leaving the house, do my shopping, and it keeps cold food chilled until I get home. Even in 100° plus outdoor temps so 120°+ in a locked car. I also use it when we're on a long drive.

Funny thing - I won it as a prize. DH turned up his nose a bit - figured I'd be donating it soon. I said, I don't know... looks like it might come in handy now and then. And it sure has!

No front pocket on mine, and the bag isn't detachable from the trolley, but I wouldn't use either of those features so it's fine.

When I looked these up on Amazon I was surprised at how pricey they are. $40 and up. Way up.

Maybe Aldi's aisle of shame carries them now and then.

I've never seen them in Aldi or Lidl Middle... ...Mine had a front pocket and 2 side pockets.... if it's just a normal shopping trip I don't use any ice packs, it keeps everything very cold for at least an hour or more, especially if I have frozen food in there.. plenty time to get home... but if I know I'm going to be longer then I'll put a couple of blue ice blocks in there..

I've had mine about 4 years now.. and 'm very pleased I have it..and I use it all year round

Bad Boy zero-turn mowers. Built like a tank. Mine's been going strong for 8 years now and while it's not professional grade and I don't have but about 130 hours on it, I'm still on the original belts and original spindle bearings.
 
I would recommend anyone who doesn't have an air fryer purchase one. We purchased a Ninja several months ago. I can cook fresh salmon or chicken breasts on Bake for 10 minutes. It would take 20 minutes of preheating and 25 minutes of cooking in the oven. I cook frozen fried shrimp in it and add them to my salads. Before it was just cut up pre-cooked chicken strips. I cook frozen sweet potato fries in it and they are delicious.

Someone in the forum said I should do an infomercial, but the bottom line is that I really do love our air fryer!

I love my Airfryer..I'm on my 3rd one now.. this one is the dual drawer one where the last 2 were both single drawer.

The very simple thing that I get most use out of on a daily or weekly basis.. is the Insulated bag on wheels that I use to carry groceries. and keep them chilled until I get home. ... no longer have to carry heavy bags into the house from the car when I can just wheel them straight in. It holds and incredible amount of groceries as well.. 2 full carrier bags worth.

Also it's great to take to the beach with chilled drinks and food... and the bag comes off to allow the frame to carry heavier items ...

That is a very good idea. I have a pull-trolley but it isn't brilliant for tying things to (it needs bunjie cords, etc.) - I've carried items on it many times but they tend to slip off. Something like that would be useful.

I would if I could. Unfortunately, Walmart has the monopoly where I live and the next town is 35 miles away. They recently made a public announcement they were raising prices. Could have fooled me, but I thought that's what they had been doing all along.

Choosing stores has largely become a pick-your-poison affair.

I'm moving away from Amazon and not renewing Prime at the end of the month, but sometimes it's the best or only option. I spend about $75/month on Walmart pickups for the same reason.

Most of my groceries are purchased at a couple of locally owned, produce-focused, very small chains (each with only a small handful of outlets). I'm grateful they haven't been swallowed up by Kroeger, Albertsons, or the like.

Whatever else I need generally comes from some of the gigantic corporations: Aldi, Trader Joe and Costco.

I tend to get deliveries and top them up with local supermarkets - my nearest one is currently changing from being a Morrisons to something else.
