I’ve got a backpack that’s falling apart after less than a year and was looking for a much better one that will hold up well. Specifically, the use case is dragging food home from grocery stores or dragging cards in plastic boxes/board games around at best…

Pro tip for backpack longevity. Stop dragging it.
Why drag it when it’s on my back, where it should be?
Maybe a wheeled dolly or cart would be better for dragging around.
Let me guess, English isn’t your first language?
I don’t mean literally dragging around, I meant it figuratively. But you did make me laugh a bit so a point for you.

Interestingly, English is my first language and the native language of my home country, and this is not a phrase you would expect to hear unless literal dragging is involved. In my country, we might say “lugging” or “hauling” where you used “dragging”. Maybe it is a local thing for you.
I’m a native English speaker, but you mentioned dragging twice. I was being facetious, so I guess you got it.
In my locale we would probably use the term schlep or haul or pack.
But in all seriousness, you should consider a grocery hand cart. Backpacks are great and all but for maybe up to 15 lbs. Beyond that and it’s nice to have it on wheels. I’ve carried a backpack for thousands of miles, and I’ll gladly repeat it, but when there are other options and the ground is flat…
