@Catherine – Thanks for your input… it’s been about 10 months or so since I purchased the cart now and I’m actually really used to having it… I don’t know how I lived without it before! hahaha So, I guess I don’t mind looking a little “homeless” while I’m using it.

Chris, in my opinion you do not look like a homeless person while carting around your purchases. My mom used to have one just like it, and I relentlessly teased her about it as a child until she got rid of it. Now in my 40′s I wish I had one and am ready to purchase one myself-and I won’t care at all how I look as long as my back isn’t hurting at the end of my shopping spree.

@Cara – I have to agree with you. After buying the cart, I realized just how useful it really is — especially for someone like me who doesn’t have a car. I also found myself asking how I had done without one in the past.

I recently bought one of those carts about a month ago. Although, it doesn’t look so stylish for a 20′s American expat to be pushing around, it is quite useful. After using it I thought of how much hassle it saved me from my previous trips lugging several bags down the street. I wonder how I ever did without. I was also thinking of sewing on decals or patches, but haven’t made up my mind yet. As for the price saving vs. eco-friendly changes, I think it has more to do with the costs. I have even seen some stores charge for plastic now, that previously didn’t.

@Violet – Thank you for your sympathy. I’m glad to know that someone else is in my boat. Really it’s not so bad, the whole “cart situation” here in Spain isn’t all that abnormal, so I guess I kinda “fit in.”

@Brad – At least in my Carrefour, you can buy plastic “biodegradable” bags for about five cents each… The problem is they’re of pretty poor quality. The cart seems to work much better for me. And you’re right, carts aren’t really that uncommon here in Spain.

They’ve quite move to eliminate plastic bags in Spain. Get used to using the reusable ones. There’s nothing wrong with the cart though. Everyone has them around here. You see them in the stores, in the markets, at cafes… they’re all over the place. It’s either that or hoof your reusable bags home by hand. You can’t even get plastic bags at Carrefour now.

This post made me laugh, because I live in Australia and until recently, did not own a car either. My housemates were all in the same boat, but we were all too proud to buy a trolley because in our suburban area its considered funny. But in the inner-city Melbourne suburbs they are all the rage! Anyway, as somene who has been in your situation, I sympathise!

@Victor – The customization thing isn’t a bad idea… it could be like the MTV show “Pimp my Ride.” However, we’d have to call this version of the show “Pimp my Grocery Cart.” I could even start my own business, “Chris’s Custom Carts.” I think you’re onto something!
