Four words for you:
Army bag with strap.

You can jam an awful lot of canned and boxed stuff in one of those, then
use bags for the delicate items (bread) or as a counterweight. It'll pay
for itself quickly, I imagine. :)

Another possibility was one my mom had said she'd used in college -- walk
to the store (or, in your case, ride) with a bunch of friends/neighbors,
then the three or four of you chip in for a cab ride on the way back.
