Any more it's a bit of a hassle for me to manage plastic bags from the store with one hand and a cane with the other. Definitely didn't want to make multiple trips, but those bags do tend to dig in. So, took inspiration from this.
Definitely did not want to pay whatever exhorbinate (sp ?) cost they're asking, so am making my own version. However, there is always a however. However, as I often get a cup of coffee or occassionally a soda I'm going to put a drink cup holder on mine. A start has been made, using 3/4" wide strips of 1/2" plywood cut to various lengths. Here's what I've got so far, with the handle part three layers wide for comfort.
I won't know for sure how the next step will go until the glue dries and I can pick it up and look it over. The two 'legs' on the left were tight enough to hold the piece sticking out while the glue dries. The 'legs' on the right were looser, which is why two pieces are stacked in between with a pencil to support the piece while the glue dries. If I'd had Norm on my mind I'd have nailed that sucker, 'while the glue sets'. It's a simple build, but it sure will be handy.
