    I bought my trolley a couple of years ago from Argos, but it has never really been used until we got our free bus passes this year, its great for the market shopping, although I still manage to end up with at least one extra carrier bag in my hand as well!!!!!

    I emailed the Novela Rolser trolley site (https://www.rolser.co.uk) and the man said that the 5% offer has been extended till the end of August. Sounds good to me.

    I think I fancy this one ....

    We went out yesterday for our first trip with the trolley. My DD (nearly 11yo) pulled it all the way there and back. I managed to get a go eventually and it was amazingly easy to pull. We brought back library books, brollies, food shop etc and no effort at all. :j

    When we got to the supermkt, we hung it on the hook on the supermkt trolley. I had to unfasten the flap that holds the bag on to the trolley then use that bar to hang it on the hook. We got some puzzled? inquisitive? looks from people including the staff. No comments tho.

    It was really easy at the checkout as I put all the shopping back in their trolley, paid and moved to a quiter spot to pack it in my trolley. The whole trip from start to finish felt a whole lot less stressful.

    Walking home we caught the eyes of 2 teenagers and then a few older ladies who looked interested at it.

    Thanks to you all for your support. I feel now that I am part of a great bunch of people who appreciate the good things in life! I can use my trolley with pride now - knowing I am not alone :A
    A penny saved is one you don't have to earn! :wave:
  • As a non-driver whose daughter is months away from out-growing her buggy (a buggy which has probably managed to stagger along under the weight of as much shopping etc as the average estate car carries during it's life-time :) ), I've been considering my (lack of) options for some time now. A granny trolley? No way. Even at my advanced age of *heavily censored* years, I'd still like to think I can pull more than the groceries, and I don't imagine a tartan tank complete with pocket for storing sensible folding plastic headscarves and other associated accessories to be very alluring.

    Then I read this thread. All of it. No struggling with bursting carrier bags bashing at your legs and cutting off the circulation in your fingers. No back-ache, shoulder-ache or neck-ache. Hmmm. Somewhere to hide all those beer purchases from prying eyes. MmmmHmmm :) And then I chased the links. Links to big trolleys, small trolleys, cheap trolleys and expensive trolleys, trolleys patterned and plain. And then I saw it, and fell in love - the Rolser shocking pink number.

    In a matter of hours, I've gone from thinking of shopping trolleys as something I wouldn't be seen dead with, to having just ordered one that can be seen from three streets away. You lot can be very persuasive, you know :)
    Eek! Someone's stolen my signature! :eek:

    I've just checked the Rolser site again and spotted the blue cow print trolley, cool...

    My cow print, black and white is doing grand. I get my weeks groceries in it and I'm through with shopping in less than an hour. Only bummer was when I tripped and managed to break the baseboard inside. Anyone know if I can get a replacement board, haven't emailed yet. I just taped up the corner with duct tape and put it back in. Really annoyed when I did it though.

    I really fancy one of these cow print ones now!! We have an Aldi one which withstood many weeks of my DD's 175 drop paper round (plus leaflets). It now has a bit of a Heath Robinson wheel where my neighbour had to fix it after DS dropped it down our front step fully loaded. Could you make a new baseboard - I would imagine its only hardboard or thinish plywood?

    Saw an elderly lady in town yesterday with a Burberry type trolly - the model name was "Predator" - Ooooh scary! :D
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

    I could make a new baseboard, got some of the plywood type stuff that's already in it but need to glue several layers of it together and my brother said he would cut it to size on a jig. Just I'm a bit of a perfectionist and now I've busted the baseboard, :-(

    That's the one I've got!!!!

    I get so many people asking me in the street, in the library and shops, where did I get it?? And Where can they get them from? It's great!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: Had mine since March now and it's invaluable at the mo, as I had my gallbladder out a couple of weeks ago and I'm not allowed to lift anything.
