Aragorn wouldn't mind how many trips it took you and would never question your masculinity, identity or worth as a person for it.

I shop at Costco, not even Aragorn, son of Arathorn, could bring all that bulk deliciousness in at once.

Sometimes it takes an army of the dead, if you want to bring home toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, and a rotisserie chicken home in one go.
It's weird, because that would be true for almost anything else, but for some reason Aragorn really cares about the groceries thing.
aragorn would walk to the store daily and carry the items in his rucksack.
Take as many trips as it takes. Those 3 minutes don't matter. You're just going to use them on Lemmy, anyways. Don't strain yourself and don't risk dropping anything. We're all getting older and minor injuries take forever to heal now and if you throw your neck or shoulder out say goodbye to that stuff you wanted to get done this weekend.
Speak for yourself. I'm not getting older!
My state banned bags, so if you forgot to bring your reusable, your SOL. And it's a non issue with those huge reusable bags, no longer do you have a dozen plastic strapping with knife like force cutting into your fingers.
Although I would love to see someone carry a dozen of those cheap paper bags in one trip.
Real men bring their own large tote bag and don't have to worry about carting 15 tiny plastic bags
A tote bag? A real man uses a duffel bag.
A REAL man uses MOLLE, large tactical rucksacks with PALS loops in place to attach any extra bags
Urban camo or black only, please, with flag patches affixed to every possible velcro surface
Fool, a man bothers not with bags, packages or any sort of vessel. For his hands have enough fingers to hold each fruit, each spaghetto and each grain of rice, and evey liquid from milk to bleach, without bottle, without mixing them and without a drop lost. If your hands cannot do that, they're the hands of a woman.
While we're on the toxic masculinity train - can you really call yourself a man if you brought the groceries home by car? I doubt it, tbh.
That's why I rely on good ol' Bill to get my vittles home.
My shopping trolley carries a literal trunk load of groceries. I walk it around town for two hours every week. Car-free is carefree, I don't give a fuck how it looks.

Do you have any !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net shopping trolley recommendations?
I've only had two over the course of four years so I'm not qualified. I will say this: if you're going to be walking outdoors a lot, consider avoiding ones with the triangle of wheels that go up stairs more easily. The smaller wheels are significantly louder on rough pavement.
Thanks, I'll keep those features in mind!
With age comes wisdom. And muscle and hand pain. I'll deal with the multiple trips instead of the pain.
The nancy boys are mad. Well done OP.
When take a dose before doing groceries so that you can do it in one trip
Everything goes great until the checkout...it's always the checkout that gets me
I thought that said rip as in bong rip.
This is great because my wife will jokingly call me a pussy if I make more than one trip for anything.
My partner is like this. She'll load herself up with this ridiculous tower of bags, books, purses, and whatever else she needs to bring in the house.
I don't get it. Just make two trips. Just make two comfortable, casual trips, where getting to the door before your arms give out isn't a challenge.
But small everyday challenges is the spice of life.
That's like the opposite of my whole ethos
Who can afford more than one armload of groceries at a time anymore?
and people get offended when others point out how fragile their masculinity can be.
