Whether you go shopping daily or weekly when you’re using crutches, this simple task becomes a huge chore. Often you will need to buy many items that are situated throughout a store. This can cause you considerable pain and can be a very unpleasant experience. Fortunately, there are three options that can help you make shopping more manageable. 

Your first option available is to place your crutches in a shopping cart. Then you can use the shopping cart as a temporary walker. But, this won’t work for everyone, especially those with serious mobility issues or severe injury. 

Your second option is to buy all your groceries online and have them delivered. This will save you time and guarantee that you don’t injure yourself. If you go with this option, don’t forget to you let the delivery people know you will need help taking the items in. Alternatively, you can have someone with you when they deliver to help you put everything inside and pack it all away. 

Lastly, you can choose to use different types of crutches. Some people find using hands-free crutches to be the best option when they go shopping.
