I have never itemized, but I get over $300 of groceries in the trunks without putting anything in the passenger seat.
My wife also hates grocery shopping, and I don't mind. But I do buy enuf stuff that I don't have to go very often.

Beer in the front. Pizza in the back.

I can't believe you put a keg of DOMESTIC beer in your German auto!

Sweet pic Tool Pants, it is good to know a keg will fit up front. Since kegs are illegal in UT (sigh) you have to smuggle them over the border from places like Evanston, WY. Bored state troopers will pull over trucks they feel might have one and you are screwed. I don't know the severity of the charge but who needs that aggravation.

I thought this was a joke, but after a quick google search.
As of 1990 it is illegal to sell kegs to private people. Something about stopping student keg parties. Cannot possess containers of beer larger than 2 liters. Cannot sell ice where beer is sold.
So I will not be moving to Utah anytime soon. But is it still ok to have 3 wives with your warm beer?

$300 worth of groceries? Of course you can get it in your trunk! That's only one little bag!

I found a few interesting photos and thought that I would add to the thread. My personal best is a 20 gallon rubbermaid trash can. I also found a picture of me in the trunk of a Miata, not so roomy.

Wow, I never would have a pictured a grown man fitting in the trunk of a Miata. Did you have trouble getting out? The garbage can is funny. I wouldn't have pictured that fitting either.

I just broke that amount last week. $430 but had to put large toilet paper pack in the passenger seat.
That's right, two little bags in the trunks.

I was actually being useful, I was tightening the nuts on the upper shock mount. The trunk would have closed but it would have pressed on my shoulders and probably not opened again so we didn't try. I am only buying groceries for one so I rarely surpass $50 in one shot, so no competition from me on that one.

I only buy groceries for one and I just about died last time I went to the store and it was $200. But I was out of everything since I had thrown everything out after evacuating for the last hurricane and then failed to replace it for quite some time depleting my supply of soup, etc.

How funny. I was just thinking about this thread yesterday when I was stuffing $175.00 worth of groceries in the front boot. My fave postings are a toss up between the IKEA overload and the keg. What a fun thread.
