Trolley's or Baskets

I now go for the small streamline trolley. I used to go for the one my son could sit in, but he is 4 now, so a bit big for it.

T'internet. Dont need trolleys! Although the stuff is delivered in baskets.

Basket.The hand held ones.Don`t often do big shops.Just a few things at at a time.So a basket suffices.

But how do you call them in Texas?

Big trolley. Shopping for 5 people, then you must have a big one.

This is easy, a streamline trolley everytime!

Always have that temptation to skid round the corner of the aisle so a big trolley is too big for skidding antics. Or my control of a big trolley at skidding is rubbish

even if i have a few items, i use the four wheeler. no need to expend more energy than i have to!

thats a valid point .the hand held basket can get a bit heavy if full and you cant find that last thing you`re after.

you have 3! choices in Europe and England??? fucking lucky bastards... we have more parking spaces thou and self serve checkout lines... we call them "shopping carts", not "trolleys" i think

I don't think Americans use the word "trolley" except for small trains, buses, or carts lead by horses like at the zoo or at a fair, entertainment transportation of no practical value

i find that a bottle of vodka,bottle of pepsi and 5 tins of asda smart price beans fit nicely into a small trolley

Small trolley to PRETEND i ain't SINGLE! ALONE AGAIN NATURALLY.

I make sure the hotties know I'm single.

Doesn't change anything.

None, I usually juggle everything on my way to the checkout; those pint-sized cans of Foster's bitter flying in the air are a good indication to get the hell outta the way.

hand carts...but the big ones with four wheels are also referred to as carts (as well as buggies or baskets) around these parts...

leave it to Texas to come up with so many different names for the same damn thing!!!

hand carts?

i go for the carts, as i always end up buying more than i expect (especially in the dairy area). of course, i'm stuck with the cart with the wonky wheel.

Shopping carts get in the way, except they're kind of fun when they're left in the parking lot unattended. I remember one summer, a friend and I were in the parking lot of a supermarket late at night. Not many cars were around, so one of us sat in the cart while the other ran until the cart was fast enough and jumped on. We just let it roll until it hit something. If we did that inside a supermarket, we probably wouldn't knocked over a few shelves.

Thought it was only ME that went SHOPPING for that kinda thing!

Thursday night is swingers night in Tesco in Ilkeston, and i mean swing your baskets.

As in a hoedown?

"Swing your baskets round and round, throw your partner to the ground"

Only because it's England...

"Shall I throw my partner roughly, Caesar"?

"Yes, yes, thwow youw pawtnew woughly, Centuwion."

Wish you could take shopping seriously

Disgusted of Ilkeston

You cant jump on the back of a basket and ride it out through the car park like a big kid

my ex-wife goes shopping with YOU???

Yes she said at least i wouldn't LOSE her! :D

i went for the streamline trolley,if that means the one you pick cos what your getting makes a basket to heavy to carry and you dont want everyone to think you have got a club foot when your zombieing around the soopamarket,and of course you end up overfilling the fucking thing which makes you look even more daft.
