A Pool Noodle Makes Carrying Groceries Inside A Breeze
By TRINITY ARCHIE
Hauling groceries into the house often requires several trips, but if you try to carry too many bags, the handles cut into your hands. Luckily, this pool noodle hack can help.
Pool noodles can provide a cushion-like protection for your hands. You don’t need any special crafting skills, and they’re easy to use, so keep them handy when you go shopping.
As TikToker @fullyremotelifestyle demonstrates, cut the pool noodle piece to size, slit it down the middle using scissors, and slide your grocery bag handles through the slit.
You can buy pool noodles from Dollar Tree for $1.25, which is far cheaper than commercial bag carriers — for instance, the Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier costs $13.99 on Amazon.
To use a full-sized pool noodle, TikToker @alisonkoroly shows how to slide your bags onto it, grabbing both ends together over your shoulder so the bags hang behind your back.
Consider buying reusable grocery bags for this, as plastic bags from the grocery store can tear. You can search Amazon for reusable bags — the BeeGreen bags are priced at $21.99.
