I'd also like to know where to get these. I found them online, but they're rather expensive.

Same. I found some for about $35 online, which I'd be willing to pay, but if you add shipping it's just too much.

I plan on using those to carry the items in, but I need something to stick all of those bags in. I'm only shopping for one, but I am very very lazy. (;

I wouldn't even consider that lazy. That cart also prevents the bags from breaking while you're walking back to your house. Some of them look like they may even hold a case of beer! :)

Exactly. If I had a dollar for every time I had a grocery bag rip on the bus I would be an eff'ing millionaire!!!

I think I've seen those cart things at drug stores. A quick search of Rite Aid brings this up : http://www.riteaidonlinestore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=166704&catid=37581&trx=PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES&trxp1=37581&trxp2=166704&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES

However, at $35 you may be better off get a couple sturdy bags.

Sounds like the reviewer couldn't put it together correctly. Check the "Dollar Stores". They usually stock them

we got ours at the Giant Eagle on Centre avenue. I think it was about 22 bucks or so a few years ago. Call the eagle and see if they have them.

I've seen the carts at the GE Market District. I'm not sure if they still sell them.
