Default S6 Trunk is too big

Maybe it's just me coming from more compact cars but I feel that my S6 trunk is way too large. For instance if I put groceries in the back they just roll around all over the place and things fall out of the bags.

Does anyone have this -> - Trunk Organizer with Cooler

It looks like it has straps that latch onto the 4 metal tie downs in the trunk but I can't tell for sure. If so that would help a ton.

How do you guys solve the "rolling around grocery" issue?

Outside of not using your 450+ hp car to fetch groceries with =)

Look under the rear deck for hooks that swing down and hold bags.

They look like this -

You can also order a net that attaches to the tie down loops on the floor. It has extra loops that can attach to the trunk lid hooks leaving space for shopping bags and such.

First world problems... Are your hundred dollar bills too big for your wallet as well?

As others have mentioned, the cargo net works quite well, but I actually have a couple of pop up boxes back there that I can stow things in, without them rolling around in the the trunk.

I use Stayhold in my trunk. Works like a hot damn and is pretty inexpensive.

It's worse than that - I'm also carting home flowers and what looks like kale. Time to turn my life around.

That's a funny title. You could get an A8. The inside of the trunk is smaller. If that doesn't work, get a cargo net and use the hooks, like others have said. Those work well in my experience.
