A container is provided for holding and carrying objects, including groceries, and for enabling those objects to better maintain their temperature. The container comprises an insulated body having a cavity which opens upward, a movable lid which can fit across the cavity\s opening to close it, and a removable, relatively rigid, basket which fits within the cavity. The insulated body and basket has a size to enable two, but not three, standard grocery bags to stand up within the enclosed basket when the lid is shut. The basket has one or more handles which make it easy to remove its contents from the insulated body. The inside surfaces of the insulated body and the basket are tapered, so the basket can be easily withdrawn from the insulated body and so more than one basket can be stacked inside the insulated body. Space is provided between the basket and the insulated body for cooling packs. The basket is spaced from the interior of the insulated body, to enable air cooled by the cooling packs to circulate around the basket and to proved insulation. The bottom of the insulating body contains treads or teeth to prevent it from slipping relative to the surface it is placed upon.
