Marie Curie fold-up shopping trolley

Options
Marie Curie charity shops have a great shopping trolley for 4.75.
Its called MY GREEN SHOPPING TROLLEY.

Its made of polypropylene like supermarkets use for bags for life I think. Mostly black in colour with the yellow daffodil Marie Curie use as their motif all over it. Two long webbed handles to pull it along with.
The wheels fold away too and it can be folded up when you aren't using it so its good to use on public transport. Great idea for people who struggle to carry bags and cheaper than most other similar shopping trollies which can be anything from a tenner and upwards for the posh designer ones at 60 quid or more.

I got one for my Mum, should have got one for myself!!:D Mother's Day present for her, should be very useful for her as she relies heavily on public transport and struggles with heavy shopping bags.

Sales assistant said they were selling like hotcakes and they only had the ones on display left.

I think its a great idea and you are donating to charity at the same time.:T

    thanks op, looks good!
    but does anyone know how long the straps are on this? have been looking for something similar to drag along with my pushchair, but it would need to be able to go over the puchair handles also - any ideas?

    Not sure if the straps would fit over two pushchair handles, also it may hold the trolley at too steep an angle, dragging the base of it and ripping it. The handles length is adjustable so maybe?? Good idea, try one out in the shop. Nothing worse than pushing a buggy with loads of shopping.
    Do you have a Marie Curie charity shop nearby so you can have a lookat them in the flesh? The second poster put the link for their website and it has a list of stores, you can find the nearest to your postcode.

    I went in today and got the last one. I think it's brilliant, as it's small enough to carry in a shopping bag, and not too heavy.
