Husband has small foldable plastic crates for the car and a LOT of cotton or jute/hessian tote bags. We recycle cardboard boxes or use them to post stuff to my cousin in Canada. She thought that I was ordering food from Iceland the country, so I bought her an Iceland bag for life. I wrap her gifts in bags for life and plastic carrier bags so that the presents stay dry and then she gets to use them out shopping. 
  

We have a large collection of the jute bags, they are usually given away at food fairs.  They are incredibly strong but not so big that you can’t carry them when full of shopping.  My OH bought a shopping trolley a while ago, saves a lot of fuss.  

Oh the joys of having bad knees, hips and shoulders and getting older
