My husband’s hand was tingling. The physical therapist said he had a pinched nerve in his neck. After the appointment, he came home beaming.
“What is there to be happy about?” I asked suspiciously.
“He told me I’m not allowed to carry groceries home from the market,” he said.
It was true, I had been loading him down like a pack mule for the three-block walk home. Some days he staggered (Thanksgiving turkey and wine for 11 guests).
My husband does have a birthday coming up. So I decided to to get him a folding shopping cart like the ones he recently admired in Paris. Here are ten folding shopping carts I’m considering, all sturdy enough to hold your wine bottles—and a turkey:
Above: From France, Perigot’s Market Trolley has a foldable aluminum frame and a water-resistant Tyvek bag (made of high-density polyethylene fibers) with a crinkled-paper surface; €91. Above: A collapsible Mac Sports Folding Shopping Cart has a powder coated steel frame and can carry loads of up to 100 pounds; it is $149.99 from Fingerhut. Above: Made from recycled material, a Rolser EcoPep Shopping Trolley with two wheels comes in five colors including carbon as shown and is $150. (A four-wheel model is $162 or, with swivel wheels, $187). Above: A new chrome Folding Grocery Shopping Cart in original packaging is $33.17 on eBay.
