I always keep shopping bags in the car as well (we have to buy bags
here if you don't have your own anyway). On shopping days, I also take
one or two coolers with ice packs, which are then covered with a doona
(or what you 'foreigners' call a duvet). My groceries might be in the
car for several hours, so this is pretty much a necessity. Doing this
did backfire on me once, I bought some prawns in Hobart for dinner, 4
hours later I get home and they were mostly frozen.
