Aldi shopper shares genius way of tackling its speedy checkouts

Aldi is loved by its customers for offering low prices helping them to cut the cost of their weekly shop, however its tills can lead to much panic at times.

It's almost like a test, trying to prove to other shoppers you have it under control and are more than capable of keeping up.

And, it's all because of how quickly staff are able to scan your shopping through its checkouts.  In the past, Aldi has credited this as one of the reasons why it manges to keep its prices so low.

Back in March 2019, one Aldi shoppers shared a genius way of keeping up with Aldi checkout staff and we thought we'd share it now, at a time when people are no doubt doing bigger shops than usual.

On Twitter, user @Jon_Fox_ said: "@AldiUK friday big shop hack.

"So much faster than packing at the shelf afterwards. Just make sure your shopping is loaded heavy to light so nothing gets crushed."

The tweet was shared alongside an image showing a blue IKEA shopping bag in the trolley.

It means, once shoppers get to the tills they can just put their items back in the blue bag and carry that out to the car, which should save you stress and time packing too.

Genius, we know.

And, we are not the only one who think this hack is a game changer. On a Reddit thread, other users raved about the packing technique.

A post on the website said: "Aldi ProTip: Line you shopping cart with an IKEA blue bag.

"When you check out and the cashier throws everything in the cart- BOOM! You're bagged and ready to go."
