Default Best method for carrying groceries etc in coupe trunk

As I have currently decided to use my 2010 XK as a daily driver I do need a method of carrying either groceries or other necessities in my Coupe's trunk without it bouncing around. I had a net in my Lexus LS430 but that doesn't seem feasible in this application. Is there any kind of collapsible container that might work and not slide around or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I take exceptional care of my car and don't want the trunk messed up after shopping. Thanks all.

There are hundreds sold under "trunk carrier collapsible" on nearly every retail site. Dozens of different styles and options.

My wife got one free when she joined AARP. They still give them out.

My 2007 XK is my daily driver also. I've not had an issue with rowdy groceries causing havoc in the back. No retainer necessary.

The rear seats are perfect for holding groceries. If using paper, one flat against seat back, or two placed side by side.

I use the passenger compartment floor to securely hold two or more grocery bags, then seat belt one or two more bags to the seat.

This should work - it's inexpensive ($8.99) collapsible mesh with handles that you can run Bungee cords through and secure to the attachment points in your trunk.

If this isn't what you had in mind, you can search Amazon and find something else.

Thanks for all the advice. I wish there was a net available like in many 4 door sedans but there isn't enough height clearance.
