Our nearest supermarket is about 1.5 miles away.
If I need to get a few bits I am more than happy to cycle with my fairly large Vaude rucksack and get the essentials.

But on Sunday I knew that I had to get more than I could fit in my rucksack, so ended up driving. Which is a bit stupid for 1.5 miles each way.

It got me thinking that I should perhaps get a little trailer that I could attach to the bike quickly and take that with me to do a decent load of shopping and save on driving there.
Does anyone do this? Is it gonna be more hassle than it's worth? How easy are the trailers to attach and remove; I can't see me doing it if it's a massive faff to attach the trailer.

I couldn't decide what sort of trailer would be more suitable; from a riding point of view, I am erring towards the single wheel BOB style trailers. But, from a practicality point of view the two wheeled 'box' trailers look like a better bet.

This kind of thing:
