Carrying Groceries and more

Since retiring, I've wanted to start running some of my small grocery and shopping errands on my bike. I'm currently tearing down and lubing my Trek 7.4 FX and decided it's time to start looking for a set of fenders and some rear panniers or baskets to hold my grocery bags.

What I need help with is identifying a nice set of fenders and some rear baskets. I understand the fender size is contingent on the width of the tires I choose, so that will be taken into account when I make my purchase. I don't need anything "quick release". As far as rear baskets or panniers go, I'll leave that up to you. These will more than likely be permanent and I would like something that would accept an average size bag of groceries.

I'd like to buy something sturdy, but it doesn't have to survive a nuclear blast. I'm also not interested in spending a fortune.
