The person there just used a couple plastic 'zip-ties' to attach the cart handle to the rack. These are one-use only but you can get a pretty big bag of them for a dollar or two so it's not too bad to just snip them off after each trip. But keep your speed down and watch for bumps. Grocery cart wheels aren't really made for hitting potholes at speed.

For me, I don't like pulling a cart. Since the farthest you have to go is 1.5 miles, I would add double rear baskets, [ some are folding ] fastened to a rear rack with a spring loaded bar, & a front basket that hangs on the handlebars, that has a handle built in, & is removeable. You can carry a lot with this combo !

Try a couple Grocery Bag Panniers from Performance. They are great, and easily carry full, large, paper grocery bags. Fold flat when not being used.
