Carry a Laundry Basket in Your Car

I keep a spare plastic laundry basket in the trunk of my car. It's great for toting home breakables (eggs, fruit or other groceries) or yard sale finds. Once I get home, I sort through the items and then put the empty basket back in the hallway near the front door, ready to put back in the car for my next trip.

This is what I use to bring my groceries from the car. It saves my back.

The styrofoam coolers work real well also. I have an SUV and groceries roll around in the back, if I don't put them in boxes or coolers. When they are taken out and I forget to put them back in, it does help some to tie the handles of the bag shut to keep contents in.

Great idea. You could also use the storage bins you can get. They are probably a little stronger. Thanks

I keep 2 or 3 (inside each other) for the days I go to Aldi's. They are sized perfectly to fit inside a grocery cart.

Laundry Basket For Car Clutter

Keep a plastic laundry basket in the back of your car. They're handy receptacles for kids' backpacks, shoes, empty cans, etc., accumulated while running errands or commuting. Baskets also work great for quick trips to the grocery. When you arrive home, just carry the basket in and sort items, then return to the car.
