My shopping trip

[Matt1705]

Got myself a rack and panniers recently, primarily for commuting so I don't have to wear my rucksack anymore, but also so I could pop to the shops.

Think I got a bit carried away on my first trip lol

Looks like an Aldi dash to me

You did well to fit that little lot in.
I always over estimate the size of the basket on my bike when I pop to the shops and end up with a carrier bag slung over the handle bars.

That was my share of a wholesale wholefood order, and riding kit.

Those bags for life are useful - you can bungy it to the rack bit in the centre- instantly more carrying capacity, just try and leave a bit of bag at the top to fold over.

Hanging on the back of our work electric truck, there's a builder's sandsack which a framework inside it to hold it open, in which we put plastic bottles. Hanging on the back of that, are a couple of smaller sacks, for holding cans. And hanging on the back of one of those, is a shopping bag for holding foil.

I'm wondering if we can find an even smaller bag for yet one more product!

A cotton tote, I used to tie that around a pannier- something light like trainers or kitchen roll would be perfect in it
