Abstract:

A portable shopping cart coupon file is used with a shopping cart that has a push handle and a back support for a baby seat. The back support is pivotably connected to the shopping cart. The portable shopping cart coupon file has a generally planar base plate. A rectangular box is disposed on the top side of the base plate. The box has a cover. A restraining device extends from the bottom side of the base plate which is associated with the top boundary of the back support of the shopping cart to restrain the base plate from sliding relative to the cart. A method of shopping with the portable shopping cart coupon file involves collecting coupons and filing said coupons in the portable shopping cart coupon file, transporting the portable shopping cart coupon file to a location at which shopping is to take place by gripping the handle of the portable shopping cart coupon file, selecting a shopping cart at the place of shopping, swinging the back support of the shopping cart into its disposition as a back support for the baby seat, placing the base plate so that the restraining means is associated with the top boundary of the back support of the shopping cart to restrain the base plate from sliding relative thereto and associating the front end portion of the base plate the push handle of the shopping cart, and removing the cover to select coupons filed in the portable shopping cart coupon file as needed.
