[nagdu] Managing Groceries and Other Large Purchases

[Nicole Torcolini]

Is shopping online an option? I do this for several items, including
groceries and Lexia's dog food.

Hi,
My roommate and I bought laundry baskets that have wheels and come with
lids. These have been really helpful, especially when we had to buy dishes
for our apartment. We also use cloth grocery bags. We have about 7 or 8.
When I grocery shop by myself, I bring one of the laundry baskets. It makes
carrying groceries home easier, whether you have a nosy dog or not.
