Many times, people use trash bags to transport used clothing, but grocery bags will work as well.

By buying only what you’ve deemed to be the essentials, you shouldn’t need to make subsequent trips for ‘top-up’ shopping as you’ll already have worked out what you need. I have found this also works good for work lunches too.
