I messed around with it for a few days just trying to add two fields to
the product table but it so difficult to find where all the mysql db
errors were being generated I just gave up and decided to write my own
cart from scratch. ;)

I should clarify a little. I gave up after only trying to add two fields
because the other features that I needed in a shopping cart were WAY
more complicated than the two fields and I reasoned that if it was that
difficult to add two fields it's going to be near impossible to add what
I wanted. So I decided my time would be better spent developing my own
cart (what learning experience it's been!!). I would be able to extend
my own cart much more quickly and efficiently than I could anyone elses
code.
