Best bed organizer for holding groceries?

With kids seats and gear in the cab, I've been putting groceries in the bed (I have a tonneau cover). I'm looking for a good way to keep all the bags near the tailgate without everything rolling around.

Ideas:

-Bed extender- AMP or try to adapt the 2008+ OEM ford version

-Cargo catch bag system- Cargocatch pickup truck bed cargo organizer by Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC - Graham Custom Truck Accessories, LLC I'm not too thrilled with the shower curtain rods though

-SUV type shopping bag organizer and use the tie downs in the corners of the bed to keep it from sliding? http://accessories.ford.com/cargo-or...e-folding.html

I have the "bed Extender" in my Mark LT...at 1st I thought, I don't want that thing.....but I have to admit...I LIKE IT!!!!! When folded back into the bed it acts as a cargo control/bed separator divide and when deployed, just gained a few feet of usable bed space and its easy to remove.....IIRR they run new about $100.

I'm out of town but will post a pic of mine.

I used 2x4s and some 1/2" plywood. Two sheets of plywood (about 4" tall by the tailgate and 6" tall closest to the cab) run from left to right(a small piece of 2x4 on each side that fits into the bed with 2x4s in the center to make compartments. That way stuff doesnt slide from side to side. I sprayed the whole thing with an old can of flex seal to avoid bags ripping or splinters. Would use plasti-dip next time but that's all I had.

Any update? I want to made my own and then paint it to match the bed liner.
