It's just a cart to me.

In HI it was a wagon

Denver.
Same for my whole family, they all use buggy, and I grew up calling it that.

People in Pittsburgh say "buggy" constantly though.

(Incidentally, apparently they also call creamsticks "long johns" here, which I learned at the grocery store today.)

This is all I've ever known as a buggy:

yup. I'm from Pittsburgh, and those are both buggies.

Shopping cart. Never heard people call it buggy.

I think this is a family thing, not a CO thing. I've never heard anyone here calling it a buggy.

Cosigned.

I've lived in several parts of Denver for over half my life and they're carts.

DH says they're buggies in the UK?

[EllieArroway]

I say cart, but my grandma (who grew up in Louisiana) calls it a buggy.

[lessel]

Buggy. From central Florida. Mom from Ohio. H is a shopping cart guy and he's from New England.

[orangeblossom]

Shopping cart, however, I've been in the south long enough now that I say buggy every now and again.

[dorothyinAus]

I grew up in NOLA and everyone I know calls them baskets. My Australian husband and Aussie friends call them trolleys.

[Deleted]

Shopping cart, although my mom sometimes calls it a wagon.

This is hilarious. I can watch it all day.
(according to the time date that happened on my 30th birthday)

To answer the question....I call them by both. Growing up in NC it was always "buggy" but somewhere along the way I started calling it a shopping cart too.

If it's a basket, what do you call the small baskets you carry when you're just grabbing a few things?

[bcv513]

It's a carriage!

[redshoejune]

I'm in CO and my grandma calls them buggies. I don't remember what my mom calls them. I wouldn't blink at either but I call them carts because that's what we called them at the two stores I worked at so I guess that's "official".

Those are baskets too, or hand baskets if people look confused.
