  • Have no idea what they are
    The Aldi one looks quite nice but I do think that the Rosler ones are nicer - now I can't decide......

    Hurrah! I had read this thread the other week and was really annoyed that I missed them at Lidls, but now Aldi are stocking them.

    Thanks for the top tip :)

    I also think these trolleys are great because I have developed rather bad RSI :( I'm not able to shop for so many bargains as I can't carry them. With a trolley I will have no excuse :T

    Yep, they are perfect for bargain grabbing icon10.gif (Too good :eek: )

    Funky, thanks for that link, I tried for ages to get it to link directly the other night and failed completely icon9.gif. I'll pinch yours for the listing in the [post=1507028]OP[/post] if that is OK with you :T :A
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    OK, the M&S trolley.

    Sells for £7.99 in the foodhalls. Black with the green M&S logo (do they HAVE to do that :confused: ) it folds down to about A4 size and can be carried like a handbag. (pic 1)

    The wheels and supports click flat (pic 2) and seem pretty sturdy.

    Opened out is it tall, thin box shaped with a zip top. there is no spinal frame on this one so it is a tow along soft bag type rather than the framed tilting trolleys. (pics 3 and 4).

    I found it a little heavy when folded, not something I would carry with me "just in case". However this might be an ideal trolley to stash in the car or the office drawer.

    I wheeled it round my flat with various loads in it and it seemed ok, but I have to be honest and say I wasn't seriously disappointed that this one is going to a new home. And in retrospect, for the same money, the Lidl or Aldi trolleys look a better buy.

    The Rolser offer of 5% off stands until 20th March. All you have to do is quote MSE Rolser when you purchase to qualify for the offer. That is on all the goods on the Rolser site. I'm happy I went for the Rolser one as I know from what others have said about them on here that it will last me for years. It will/does get a lot of use so I need something that isn't going to give up the ghost after a month or two of use, or let me down mid-shop!!

    Right, decision made at last! my new one is going to be.... the purple one! I just luuurve that colour! (until I change my mind again :rolleyes: )

    Which reminds me to pass on a care tip to new trolley owners. Most trolly's have a stiffener in the bottom of the bag and this is often a sheet of stiff card or thin board.

    If your trolley is washable and has this board you should be able to lift it out of the bag quite easily. If you remove it and place the board in a plastic bag then replace it in the shopper this will prevent the inevitable occasional spillage from soaking into your board. I had this happen with eggs once :eek: . Not very nice!

    Now when I take my trolley apart for cleaning and maintenance it is easy to just change the plastic bag.

    Supermarket bags are not so good for this but the slimmer, magazine carrier type are perfect.

    RacyRed,

    The board that is in the base of my Rolser is like MDF, about half an inch thick. Thanks for the tip, I did wonder about it as I was taking milk home the other day and was pretty canny trundling it along the road incase of any mishaps. A large ziplock bag might be an idea too, think I've got some big enough, or Fablon stuff, sticky backed plastic stuff maybe...:confused:

    Congrats on your FINAL decision re your new Rolser chic shopper. Have you got it yet or have you yet to pick it up from the store in town? Don't forget your discount too!!
