Used to do groceries with a regular bike and two ortlieb panniers (you can leave the top open to use their full capacity) For extra space a front "Porteur style" rack is nice (you can carry a pizza or takeout), or a rear rack with a set of lower mounting rails allows carrying stuff ontop of your rack without interfering as much with the panniers. nice front racks: https://www.passandstowracks.com https://www.passandstowracks.com nice front and back racks: https://www.tubus.com/en/products/ https://www.tubus.com/en/products/ some people also really like the topeak rail system, which has for example a little wheely cart you can pull around the store with you, the "Topeak TrolleyTote" Over the summer I bought a used (not electric) bakfiets on craigslist (and only recently did a mid-drive electric conversion) it's been really great for doing more with a bike because it doesn't take as much "how am I going to carry this home" planning. I've picked up groceries, dog food, filing cabinets, my wife, my dog, friends, lumber, tools, etc. It's quite an amazing bike format.
