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.
Thats only like 10 items in this economy, thats not that impressive :P
lol you made me curious so I checked the receipt.. it's actually 21 items! A 2 litre bottle of white vinegar. 750ml windex. Can of bug spray. 3 trays of meat. 2 jars of pasta sauce. 2 packs of Penne. 1kg bag of rice. Bag of potato gems. And more. Some decently sized items!
Wow 21 items including those for under $100 is crazy!!
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.
