Only thing is that I have to block out 2 full hours on a weekend day to be able to grocery shop by bike, which can be a hassle if we have a particularly busy weekend.

I typically ride to Aldi, get some stuff, then go across the street to Walmart and get some more stuff, then go home.
Good job!

I'm jealous... my closest Aldi's is close to 14 miles away. I bet you could increase your capacity a bit by going to two slightly smaller containers mounted sideways.
