True, you’d never see them with that many groceries but they sure pack a lot of other stuff on the bike. You bought more groceries than what would fit in our little tiny fridge.

KOI: except I didn’t see anyone carry that much at one time. They (and this is a HUGE generalization) seem to like to shop everyday. That way they can just loop some small bags over their handlebar and still talk on the cell phone and look elegant. No danger of elegance here!

Smudgemo: Beer is always important. Luckily we’ve found a weekday morning window where they’ve a) just restocked, and b) aren’t full of shoppers yet. BTW, our puritan liquor laws here mean TJs can’t sell liquor. I can’t believe how we go through groceries!

Thank goodness that you have room for beer, although with the lines at our local TJ’s, even I wouldn’t go back for more upon discovery of unused space.
What’s really impressive is unless you are buying liquor, $187 at TJ’s is a lot of groceries.
