Grocery shopping w/ the Peugeot

Have I mentioned that I love Trader Joe's? With some route creativity, our local store is only about 2.5 miles away--a perfect candidate for grocery shopping by bike. I saddled up with my three-year-old in the iBert (a product of Utah), two Basil panniers (I'm secure in my manhood), and a grocery list. Trader Joe's has a nice selection of bike parking as well, thanks, guys.

As always, I had to repack everything in the panniers, as the typical grocery bagger is unfamiliar with the dynamics of hauling groceries by bike. I ended up filling up the two panniers and another "green" reusable Trader Joe's grocery bag. Here are the results:

• 5 lb bag of red potatoes
• Container of cherry tomatoes
• Container of strawberries
• 1lb whole mushrooms
• Trader Joe's pork dinner
• 5 lb chicken thighs
• 1lb sliced ham
• Frozen vegetables
• 1 pint half & half
• 1lb butter
• 1qt chicken broth
• Lemon
• Pizza dough x 2
• Pepperoni
• Shredded cheese
• 2 boxes of cereal
• 1 gallon milk
• 1 head of lettuce
• 4 cans of corn
• 4-pack of Virgil's root beer
• Fruit leather ends & pieces
• 1/2 gallon apple juice
• 1/2 gallon grape juice
• Salad dressing
• Pizza sauce
• Box of cheese sticks
• 3 boxes mac 'n cheese
• Potato chips
• Flour tortillas
• 1 loaf of bread

Not too bad, eh? Needless to say, I have a project underway that will increase cargo capacity of the Peugeot. Looking forward to it.
