Only one, of course. When it's time to walk to the store again, take the cart with you.

I would rather have the gas for the vehicle. Which begs the question question:How many shopping carts have you had in your garage at one time

Having done the latter, I can tell you the neighbors will complain if you don't park the cart in your garage like a civilized person.

, food should be a priority, however what if you have a vehicle in your driveway, no gas, and the grocery store is 5 miles away? Should one walk there back with groceries in a backpack? Or does one wheel that grocery cart all the way home park that thing outside your home on the curb?Just asking..

I think she has handled everything flawlessly. A perfect role model if you want to do good for others and have to claim publicly. This tv visit will bring attention to her foundation and encourage other major winners to create a foundation.

The New Yorker she split the jackpot with is also single and about in her age range. Maybe they should get together.

She was invited accepted the invitation to go on the Ellen Show. She also showed up bearing gifts. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, given that she is helping others in need. Recall that she faced the cameras when she won.Unlike the Robinson family from Tenn that flew to NY to parade their status on national television,they invited themselves to the party.
