How Can I Stop Being A Bag Lady?

1. SIMPLE SOLUTION:
   
   EASY WHEELS
   "the fastest way to load and unload"
   
   STOP carrying bags! The extra weight will strain your back, neck and shoulders not to mention your arms. After a lot of research (thank you Jeff :), I decided to buy an Easy Wheels Jumbo Elite Chrome Shopping Cart. It is light-weight, easy to store and very versatile. In fact, I store the cart in my laundry room so it is easy to get to. And, I no longer carry bags.
   
   Top Five Reasons to Buy the Easy Wheels Cart:

1. solid genuine rubber tires


2. it folds flat


3. weighs 15 lbs


4. can hold up to 150 lbs


5. easily hooks onto grocery carts

EXAMPLES:

1. On the pool deck: It can easily be transported in a car even as small as the Honda Fit (love the Fit! thank you Bryant Lee - Huntington Beach Honda). I can put three swim bags, a plastic tub with water bottles, powder and ear solution, (2) shower bags, (2) lunch boxes, three towels, (2) cozy jackets, a purse and still have room for my coffee thermos. The best part... it stands off the ground so everything inside stays dry.


2. Carry grocery bags home from the market: I can easily fit four to five recyclable shopping bags. Walking to my local market keeps my parking space, adds exercise to my day and saves gas.


3. Holds a week's worth of library books - that would 25 books for our house. I would bet money that you have a local library in your neighborhood that is less than one mile round trip. My girls ride their scooters and I push my cart.

HELPFUL HINTS:

1. I am not a fan of WalMart, in fact never shop there. However, I had money in a PayPal account and was able to order the cart on line and pay with PayPal at WalMart. I did not pay for shipping because I picked the cart up at my local store. The cart is also listed on line at Bed Bath and Beyond.


2. Cost of the Cart: Between $50 - $60

FUN FACTS:

1. Burn Calories by walking with your cart. Walk just half a mile and burn the following...

• 34 calories if you weigh 130 lbs


• 37 calories if you weigh 140 lbs


• 40 calories if you weigh 150 lbs


• 42 calories if you weigh 160 lbs

2. Fun Read: The Push Cart War, A popular children's book written by Jean Merrill and illustrated by Ronni Salbert. It was published in 1964 and concerns a war between pushcart peddlers and delivery trucks in New York City.

3. The country looses 119 million lost working days due to back pain.
