Yes I would and I wish I'd had one when first married. We lived 15-20 mins from the supermarket and I had to shop every day as I couldn't carry it otherwise. I've seen 20-30 yr olds with them. In fact I regularly see a younger person with a smart Cath Kitson style one. If you go for a funky style. It won't age you.
I have one and I use it whenever I go out to buy more than a few things. I am about 10-15 minutes from the shop, but it is uphill home and my shoulders complain. Two wheels take half the weight of the load and I can stop, rest it upright and not be carrying any weight at all, which is a vast improvement on having several bags cutting off my circulation even when standing still. Four wheels would take all of the weight and just need to be pushed along, but not go up and down the kerbs as easily.
It has been used to carry stuff to the charity shop, to take books to a book sale - just try carrying several bags of those - and for going to Lidl for their excellent but heavy vegetables. These three involved lifting it on and off buses and walking for ten minutes at either end of the journey.
Why associate a trolley bag with old ladies pushing baskets with walking sticks attached? There are all kinds of designs in the shops now. Mine is black but I could have had a purple version, or one with a leopard-skin design. Who cares about the old lady image anyway? Heck, I am an old lady and I should not be expected to lug heavy bags about.
Bags did you not use one for carrying coal, store it in the bath!.
I used sons pram to carry logs for the fire gleaned from fallen wood when he had grown out of it, gift from Grannie from her 'Nearly new' charity shop in Causewayside.
Im tempted to buy one for myself as I cant easily get the rucsac on my shoulders.
Gone are the days when I would carry 2 bags of shopping and 5kg charcoal on my shoulder as it was a bargain, summer and barbies
I have several . Got a bright red one , used it once , felt too conspicuous , got a black one felt too old , got a nice patterned one and decided it was all too aging ! One now hold my Knitting , one my spare painting stuff and the other hides behind the chair to gather "rubbish" to save it from being thrown out by my DD.............. I just wish I could bring myself to use one of them !
I have two that I used to use in Oxfordshire and Milngavie. It's too hilly here and the shops too far away or I still would. I use them for carrying logs into the house for the wood burner.
Long ago, in my early twenties, I used one in Dundee to carry washing to and from the laundry.
Having always had a car to transport my supplies whenever and where I want, I am not having to re think my strategy.
I have to walk to collect shopping approx 30 mins walk to bigger supermarket, I normally pick little bits n pieces up every other day and carry them home, but as the cold weather as approaching, then I probably won't be off out unless need be.It has recently been my 60th birthday and a lovely time I had, my mum kept sort of jokingly buying me a "shopping trolley" !! a she has one (got it in the charity shop for £2) nice bright pink polka dot one! but!! having made note of the people in town this morning with shopping trolleys, of all diff ages, they were all over the place,! I must have counted at least 15!
So would you! use/buy/have shopping trolley.Do you think they age you? Must admit I always associated older ladies with them, you know the little basket type ones with a sort of walking stick handle but if needs must then!
