[nagdu] Managing Groceries and Other Large Purchases

[Doug Parisian]

Depending on the largeness of whatever you are buying, and how much you 
can comfortably carry in a backpack, there is your answer.

I don't much care for any of those contrivances with multiple 
compartments for this purpose.  I purchased a single cavity backpack 
from an Army Surplus store.  As an example using my pack, I can manage a 
15 can pack of beer, five pounds of carrots, the same of potatoes, about 
5 pounds of various meats, a few canned goods, and a few other things.  
I have a cloth shopping bag for breads and other crushables.  Without 
the afford-mentioned liquids, I'm able to load even more groceries.

Since I buy in bulk as much as possible, I bribe a friend (free 
breakfast) when purchasing my years supply of bathroom tissue, Kleenex, 
laundry and dish soap.

Fortunately, I have no physical issues.
