Great idea! Sometimes mind over matter does the trick! Just because we have physical limitations, does not mean we cannot overcome those limitations mentally! JoAnn

I have been trying to find one of those to buy. Right now I am using a luggage rack. Kind of funny, but all I have. It is a long walk from the parking lot to my apartment; as my apartment is the last one the furthest from parking.

that is the smartest thing! i think you can still buy them in grocery stores! good luck finding one. thanks for the tip!

This is a great idea! I live deep in the woods and my husband is away most of the time driving our truck. Our drive way is not close to the house and I had to lug the bags by myself to the house. I discovered though that I could use our snowsled with the groceries and haul a few bags at a time to the house and up the stairs. This works for me, even when there is no snow.

Sounds to me like you are pretty creative and inventive too, Susie. To think of using a sled, winter or summer to haul the groceries. Not to mention, you must be very brave to live deep in the woods, with your husband away so much!!! Best wishes to you! JoAnn

A side note...

I did search ebay for folding carts and found all sorts - all different price ranges. I found mine at a flea market!

And, way to go, Susie!!!! You are most brave to live deep in the woods, but I'll bet you love it, too!

Hi,

First time poster here. Don't know where you live but I live in California and I grocery shop online. I can shop at midnight if I want and schedule the day and time of the delivery. And they not only bring the groceries to the door, they bring them in and put them on my kitchen counters so I don't have to bend over and pick them up off the floor. Were I not able to do this, I would have to impose on one of my kids and they allo have very busy schedules and small kids of their own. I'm housebound for the most part, but anything I can do for myself is one less thing I have to ask tham to do. Hope this helps and hope you can find something similar.

Joni... remember this post from oh so long ago??? I do.

CLE19, first....may I welcome you to our group. There are some awesome people here, and we are delighted to have you join us.

I live in Boise, Idaho. I do not think there are any stores that have the service you describe available. But boy I wish they did. I am in a wheelchair and am dependent on my children to take me to the store. They become busy with there own lives and I feel like I am imposing on them asking for them to take me....or go for me. It is awesome that you have that available. Do they charge you for the service?

JoAnn

Hi Jo, We have "Peapod" here in Illinois. I had to use them on a few occasions. they charge about $7.00 for delivery. but they have "generic" products so it's not to expensive. They send me all kinds of discount codes now. Even Libby recognizes the big green truck. ILY

They have Safeway markets and a couple others out here in AZ that do delivery/
Another thing you can use if you can't find one of those basket carts is a old fashion wagon! We use to use one to go put kids in and roll around the fee market years ago.
I also have this laundry cart simular that I purchase a long time ago from CostCo.
I bet someone else can come up with ideas as well.

JoAnn,

There is a delivery charge of about $10.00 but it's so worth it to me. And there is a minimum purchase as well but it's only $50.00 and we all know that it doesn't take much to spend $50.00 at the grocery store anymore. Noticed another poster who said that Safeway delivers in Arizona and that's who I use. Vons/Safeway. It wouldn't hurt to go online and search for online grocery delivery. Who knows. You might get lucky. Chris

Anyone have a GREAT big dog and a pull cart?.
Actuallty, we Do have Safeway in AZ. Basha's will do it too.. I think.
I luckily don't have to climb stairs But I do use carts anything on wheels .
I do the same thing (use a cart) for inside my home - carrying laundry back and forth is the big one for me!

They had them at the TJ Max/Homegoods stores in my area. Came in a variety of colors. Also when all else fails Amazon usually has what I'm looking for. Shopping is one thing I know ; )

Forgot to say they fold up too and can stored in the trunk.

I have a small childs wagon that I use to carry flowers and lawn tools and dirt around it.It also works great for those bags of grocieries.
Good luck
