Frugal and Green! Purchase one of those heavy duty insulated shopping bags and keep it in your car for when you're grocery shopping, especially here in the South, and in the summer. You will be surprised at how beneficial it will be and how often you'll be glad you have it handy. They are very inexpensive, fold flat, take up little storage space in your car when not in use and open to a generous size bag. I bought mine at Sam's Club, but they are available elsewhere.
In warm weather I keep an old styrofoam picnic cooler in the car. When I shop for frozen things I will bring along some frozen freezer gel packs--you know, those things that you freeze to keep your lunch cold. Great for keeping your items cold on the way home from the store.
