Most cargo bikes should breeze taking the shopping, just choose one with gears and in your price range
I have a longtail cargo bike, I can fit a normal, shallow shopping trolley worth of stuff in the big panniers on my cargo bike, leaving the top free to carry more stuff or a child, or both. They ride like a normal bike and have normal gearing too.
There's a cheap Yuba Mundo on ebay right now... in hereford though. Also saw a dutch longtail on gumtree on SW London going cheap

I'm thinking of getting a cargo bike for shopping but I live in Brighton so it would need to be able to tackle hills.
Looking at the Christiania style three wheeled versions but they don't seem to have a lot of gearing.
And the two wheeled, courier, style ones are well out my price range.
Anything I'm missing or suggestions?
