The items that appear in the trolley without ever being chosen.

Basketdrift accumulates fastest when shopping hungry: the artisan crackers, the second chocolate, the candle. At checkout the shopper reviews the basket like a stranger's luggage. The drift is forgiven weekly, eaten happily, and disowned at the receipt stage.

Etym. — basket + drift — the cargo that boards the trolley under its own power.

Rel. — aislecraft · dupleshopping

Novelty check: APPROVE
