A trolley for the use of customers in supermarkets, of the type comprising a base mounted on orientable wheels, two identical tubular elements, substantially in the shape of a U, having a vertical arm forming an upright of the trolley, a lower downwardly and rearwardly bent arm comprising a horizontal portion on which is fixed a pivoting wheel, and an upper upwardly and rearwardly slanting arm ending in a handle for handling and guiding the trolley and a third tubular element in the shape of a U, whose arms are fixed by their ends by rivetting, welding or other, respectively to the tubular elements, substantially at the level of the lower end of the uprights, the first two tubular elements being disposed in two parallel vertical planes and being joined together by a lower cross piece formed by a flat vertical plate which is fixed by rivetting or welding to the lower ends of the uprights and being further joined together by an upper cross piece formed by a horizontal rectangular frame welded by the middles of its small sides to the uprights, said trolley further comprising at least two tubular sleeves fixed to the upper part of the uprights or to the upper cross pieces, in a substantially horizontal position perpendicular to the plane formed by the uprights, each of said sleeves having a longitudinal slit which extends along the bottom of the sleeve, and said sleeves serve for holding parallelepipedic bags comprising at their upper part two hooking straps formed by flexible strips fixed by one of their ends to the upper edge of the side walls of the bag, and which are bent back and fixed on themselves at their other end, so that in the passages formed by the two straps relative to each longitudinal side of the bag two rigid rods may be introduced, each rod being slid, over a portion of its length, inside one of the sleeves, and the straps passing through the slits in the sleeves.
