Thailand started the year with a strict plastic bag ban, much to the chagrin of the cult of bag-savers 'round the South Asian country. Shoppers have yet to adopt the cute canvas totes that are popular in the United States and Canada. Instead, Thais are opting to get creative with their shopping vessels, using objects a large as a wheelbarrow and stuff as dainty (and crafty) as a clothespin hanger. We've put together some of our favorite unorthodox grocery transporters, but there's a huge Facebook album with loads more photos where these came from.

If you've ever been grocery shopping for more than one person, chances are that you've attempted to maneuver a shopping cart. And chances are the cart freakin' sucked. This meme, which has seen huge popularity on Reddit, pokes fun at the near-inevitability that one of a shopping cart's wheels is bound to be broken. While simple, the meme is instantly relatable- so it kind of went off over the past couple days. While the meme is dying, we're here to appreciate its simple stupidity and hilarity. We salute you.
Whole Foods, which was bought out by Amazon two years ago, announced that it will be cutting prices on many of its traditionally overpriced products. This has come as good news for many, but it's also been met with scrutiny that the products won't be as high-quality as they were in the past.
Will the hippie supermarket soon shed its infamous nickname "Whole Paycheck"? It's hard to say, but either way, we're bringing you these memes that throw serious shade. If we're being honest, probably most of us still won't be able to afford anything they sell!
Damn fish lookin' so creepy in the grocery store.
