I want to get one of those metal collapsable carts that a lot of elderly people use for groceries and stuff (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-Folding-White-Shopping-Laundry-Grocery-Cart-NEW_W0QQitemZ160018650262QQihZ006QQcategoryZ71483QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) but I have no idea where to get one.

I live in a dorm at my college, and there's a Giant about 2 blocks away, but 2 blocks is really far when I'm carrying soda or other heavy/bulky stuff (I'm not the world's strongest woman or anything), so silly as it might look, it will be soooo helpful and will save me a lot of trouble trying to lug everything back by myself because I hate bugging people for help or rides all the time.

I've already checked eBay and stuff, but they all charge outrageous shipping costs. Are there any stores I can go to and get it for like, $15-$20 (or less) and avoid shipping altogether? I've already checked stores and websites for places like K-Mart and Wal-Mart too and can't find it. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure why the above link isn't working, so I'll repost it here. Maybe it will work now... http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-Folding-White-Shopping-Laundry-Grocery-Cart-NEW_W0QQitemZ160018650262QQihZ006QQcategoryZ71483QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But anyway, like I said, I don't care how silly it looks. If you've tried carrying 4 2-liter bottles of soda and various other things a couple blocks in the heat or cold, you'd understand. I don't want to just "borrow" a shopping cart from the store either. Kids get in trouble for taking them all the time. Since the school's so close, they look out for people doing that. Multiple trips also isn't the answer.

The Walmarts in my part of the country Eastern US do carry them. They do not seem to be available on the website. They actually carry them in the part of the store where they have the irons and ironing boards. If you call one of the Walmarts in your area they may have them also. Have you considered buying one of those inexpensive suitcases on wheels with the extend able handle, you could use one of those for your shopping and when you go home for breaks and such. All the department stores have those and many are only $15 to $20. This might be a good alternative. Good luck to you, I can remember being in undergraduate school and having to lug shopping back to campus, what a pain. You may also want to check with local health care agencies, a lot of times they will be able to find items like the "old lady carts." Best of luck to you, have a great year at school. Goodnight!

I found this link for you. I have the same one that is on E Bay, and you can't put anything heavier than paper towels in it, or it will crack. Good Luck!!
