What do you call the wheeled thing you drive in supermarkets? If it's a caddy, then maybe it could be "a free caddy-load"?

Freebie can be used as an adj.
The journalists were all given a freebie lunch. (e.g. from Cambrideg)
freebie hotel/flight/holiday (e.g. from Longman)
A waiter was handing round freebie glasses of wine. (e.g. from Longman)
btw, what is a freebie holiday?
