FWIW, I've brought a week's worth of groceries home by bike countless
times. I have two open-top panniers designed for shopping. When they're
filled to the top, some of the load can usually be laid atop the rack
and bungeed in place. It's really not a problem, especially since we
both eat quite a bit less than we used to, which I think is normal at
our age.

Of the bicycle photos Tom has posted on Flickr:

none of them have pannier racks or threaded eyelets for rack
attachment points.  This is going to require some customizing, a
utility bicycle or as you suggest, a trailer.

There were times I needed even more capacity - for example, hauling two
kids' plus their backpacks. For that I used a trailer, customized for
the job.

Good idea.  He could tow his Toro lawn mower as a temporary trailer.
