    I waited until 12 ticked over to post this… but have a look at this absolute beast of a backpack holding $84 of groceries like a champ. I’ve had this backpack for maybe 7 or 8 years now, taken it half way around the world twice & on countless domestic trips, and I’ve used it as my daily carrier/work bag and it’s as good as the day I bought it.

    Can fully recommend the Osprey Farpoint 40. Never felt more confident recommending something.

      I have one of those (or a very similar model), it’s a great bag. I’ve never taken it grocery shopping, but it was great in Vietnam where it needed to be able to handle everything from walking and motorbike travel to air travel as both hand luggage and cargo. Also fully recommend.

      I like to clip my bike panniers on the inside of the trolley. Tioga panniers, almost 20 years old.
