If it won't fit in something like a handlebar bag, then you'll at least want the rack. Might as well get one with the proper stays for panniers then, because eventually you'll spot a great deal on a set and want to add the grocery store to your list of bike destinations. (Or you'll pass a store on the commute every day that you would pick stuff up at if you had the cargo capacity.)
