Like brianorca said, baskets don’t contain the flour that comes out, or whatever is on the surface of the bag. Plus some baskets have enough in the way of hard edges to damage flour bags, I’ve had it happen in the store while carrying stuff to checkout before. Only three times ever, but still
Kinda depends on what the basket is made of and the design, I guess. Like, an old school woven basket could work fine as long as it’s well woven, but the typical shopping basket in stores is going to suck.
Baking pro tip for shopping: buy some buckets. 3 gallon is plenty big enough for a grocery store sized bag.
Get the cart to your car, put the buckets (one for each bag of flour) in the buggy and transfer the bag/s into them.
Then move the buckets into your car. They’ll be less messy, protect the paper bags better, and make carrying it in easier via the handles.
If you’re a high volume home baker, it’s still easier than dealing with ordering in bulk.
Boy reinvented the shopping basket…
Do you mean the shopping bucket?
Shopping baskets would not contain the loose flour.
