Abstract: A modular basket system, accompanying hand cart, and method for collecting and transporting grocery items. A series of rectangular baskets placed within a standard shopping cart provide storage and organization for groceries while shopping. Handles on the baskets allow easy transfer in and out of the shopping cart. Optionally, a collapsible hand cart provides a means to secure the baskets and transport them without a standard grocery cart. The hand cart comprises a two-wheeled structure that movably supports load, including a collapsible handle and foldable frame for improved storage. Brackets along the handle and frame provide securement for the baskets, while two rear-facing hooks provide for an additional bin attachment. The baskets may be lined with removable bags or insular liners to protect the baskets or to preserve frozen food during transport between the market and home.
