OS Chic Shopper club (ex Wally trolley) :)

I've considered one but am under strict instructions from the Mr not to even dare... lol.

Hi,

for what its worth, I've been using one for years.
It is a modern, abstract, design.
No one has ever given me a second look with it.

Though I probably look a bit daft with how high my heels are,
tripping along with a trolley full of fruit and veg.

Let us know how you get on xx

Love them?

Appears to be the 'in' thing for the local yummy mummy,s - go for it

I certainly wouldn't be embarrassed about using one. I would say tho', that where I live they are the favourite "tool" of young female shoplifters. Just in case you attract any suspicious looks from retail staff!!!

Definately get one, nothing to be embarrassed about

When I asked for suggestions for a name for mine the best answer was "Offyer" :rotfl:

Trendy young London chicks started using them at least a decade ago in an "ironic" way and now lots of people use them. Even me. I'm not a youngster but invested a tenner in one with some Christmas gift-money given to me a couple of years ago. The best tenner of someone else's money I ever spent. It's in a fake leopard-skin print and a thing of beauty. I've got to carry shopping up three flights of stairs and schlepping ten-kilo sacks of cat-litter back has become so much easier. I even hauled my prized charity-shop bargain bread-maker home in it.

Get one. Right away.

I got my first when I left home at 18 :rotfl:

I have 2

One has an integral seat like this:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004QJ4UZW/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&psc=1 Mine is black/red & I've had it over 10 years

well handy for bus stops/train stations, picnics on the beach & camping trips, also used to use it for face painting.

The other is a normal plain black one and tbh after 20 years needs replacing soon. I'm gonna get something brightly coloured and fancy.


Living 3 floors up with no lift my neighbours and I have worked out the 3 wheeler "stair trolley" types are pretty useless.

I prefer using Lidls and Aldi and markets for most of my fresh food weekly and a shopping trolley is soooo much easier than oodles of bags. No woman looks stylish struggling with tonnes of carriers. With a chic shopper and a wiggle in your walk you can assume some semblance of style at least

A note of caution for people visiting London as tourists - suitcases are often stolen at coffee shops and stations. Thieves assume you may have valuables and passports in them. :eek:For some reason shopping trollies are far less likely to be stolen this way.

I now advise friends coming to stay for the weekend to pack their clothes in a shopping trolley rather than a suitcase for this reason, Several face painting friends had their kits in suitcases (worth hundreds!) stolen in this manner a few years back. It was VERY harsh on the facepainters to lose the entire tools of their trade & therefore livelhoods in one fell swoop just cos they kept their kit in a suitcase.

You really notice it in the winter. Carrier bags cut off the circulation to your fingers in the cold! A trolley is so much more convenient!

Surprising how many people have them "Young n old".

I bought one for about £10 (2 wheels) and it has really been invaluable the past couple of years.

My weekly shop has never been the same as its no longer a struggle with heavy bags cutting into my hands!!

GO - for - it - you'll never look back!!!!

Go for it, they are tres chic and used alot by Parisian women apparently, and you can't get more elegant than that!

Neither me nor my husband drive so I do the weekly shop in the small Mr S in my town then just wheel the shopping trolly through town back to my house. I find if you stride along with your head held high, you can get away with it. However, if I am feeling lazy and leave the trolly in front of my house for a day or two it can make us look a little "Shameless"
