I've always used a large hard-shell cooler with wheels filled halfway
with ice. It only takes me a few minutes to pack it with my purchases
and then only one lift to get it from the vehicle at home. Then I just
roll it into the house and unpack it. I carry two of them if I'm
getting a lot of cold or frozen items. It works great for me.

I'm thinking of buying this:

Minus 8F and 12 volt. It would be perfect for long road trips,
camping, power outages and long store runs.

My van even has a power outlet in the back for it.
