Is it cold enough to leave refrigerated (not frozen) grocers in my van trunk for 2 hours?

| Your car is basically going to be the same temp as your fridge, so yes, of course I'd leave in there. |

| Not if parked in my heated garage. Or in Florida. What’s the ambient temp? |

+1 I wouldn’t even worry about meat or dairy if you’re in DC. It is literally the same temperature as my refrigerator right now. |

| Personally I would bring it in rather than wonder. I would leave the "okay to leave in the car for a day or two" stuff in the car, but bring in the stuff for the freezer and fridge as soon as possible. |

do you normally go straight to and from the grocery store? 2 hours is within the normal realm of errands IMO. like grocery pickup, pick up dog food, a prescription, maybe stop at a second/specialty, and then grab CFA for lunch. thats about 60-90 minutes.
I used to go to Aldi during my lunch break during the winter and then use insulated bags and drive home. Park in shade, use the trunk, and its fine. Especially if its under 30 degrees. |

Groceries? Yes fine
Grocers? No, they might get cold, at least give them a blanket |

Not if you park in the sun. In the shade, yes. |

....well OP is asking because they are NOT going home, they're out and about for 2 hours. This is a different discussion if OP were heading home right away and then just letting stuff sit in her car. |

| Yes but I would park in the shade to avoid the sun warming up the trunk. |
