Default How do you hold small items in cargo?

I've seen some of the discussions regarding floor mats which doesn't totally answer, but I'm just wondering if you guys have anything to help manage smaller items in your cargo area?

For example, if I've gone grocery shopping and have a few bags of groceries... anyhting I can do to prevent it from sloshing around? Similar to shopping at the mall, things like that...

There are hooks for grocery bags on each side of the cargo area. You can also get a net that attaches to the floor, or a collapsible cargo organizer.

I got a storage net come with mine that you can put over a load and hold it down with, it was under the floor of the boot. Maybe see if you got one. I presume it is the kind of option that will only be part of certain options in certain regions tho.

I got a cargo net with mine as well. It's excellent for holding the smallish stuff down, and durable enough to throw the bigish stuff right on top.

Second the cargo net. $15 on eBay. My sales guy @ Audi Concord also gave me a dealer-labeled collapsible box similar to the one pictured above, only with orange striping.

Taken together, these two are very handy. My son and I have an annual rite of taking the spare change we've accumulated to one of those counting machines inside the grocery store, and the box/net combo prevented the big glass jar from rolling around and tipping over.

Also, not sure if you have the underfloor storage tray...

There this possibility, but this is much more expensive:
