We keep emergency items in our trunk.  Blanket, jacket, tire inflater, etc.

The only thing constantly in our trunk is reusable grocery bags, in a collapsible bin in which we also keep a spare umbrella.  Somehow I think my husbands pool cue is in there also.

Many different things have been in my car trunk over the years, everything from groceries to school book bags to athletic equipment and more! What I've got back there at the moment is a dish drainer that I bought from Walmart that's too big for my sink! Now I've got to take it back to exchange it for a smaller one. :-[

I keep a change of clothes in my car and a few other things that you never know if you might need or not.

Unfortunately I do not have a trunk.  I have an SUV but in the winter time I try to keep some supplies like a blanket, Bottle of water and a snow brush for my car ... just in case.

I have a love-hate situation with the car I have right now.  (Meaning I LOVE that it gets me places but I HATE everything else about it.)  I had the car for 3 1/2 years before I even opened the trunk and the person that had it before me really left it a mess!  All of that is gone.  There's a plastic shovel (for snow), and some "HEET", some spare oil & antifreeze.  A funnel.  I don't even know if there's a spare tire in there... I'll have to remember to check when our snow melts.
You probably have a removable panel in the floor of your trunk with the spare tire underneath it.

I live in an apt.  I garden (veggies etc in the raised beds) at my son's place. He fixed the garden up for me.

I have a lot of garden supplies in my trunk, that I have no room for in his garage.

Also keep extra stuff for the car like "HEAT" for the gas tank, if it is freezing out side.

The trunk is my "office on wheels".

The only thing in my trunk are the reusable shopping bags that we use here in So Cal.... a blanket, and a first aid kit.
I add stuff based on the event & destination... like a case of bottle waters.

I have a quilt and plastic bags in my trunk most of the time.  We use the quilt for picnic's in the summer and emergencies in the winter.  Not to mention my husband has used the vehicle for his lawn mowing service and grass has embedded itself into the flooring.  So when I deliver custom orders I cover it all up with the quilt.  My Mom made it for me years ago out of sweatshirts from when I was younger.  Washes up well and it's huge. My sister is a teacher and for years she has used her trunk to store files.
