An Aldi shopper has shared a very clever hack to navigating the notoriously fast checkout process at the popular supermarket.
Anybody who shops at the store knows the tills can often be frantic, with the staff impressively working through your trolley far quicker than you can pack your bags — here's how fast they scan your shopping compared to other supermarkets.
This is made especially harder if you've ended up with a basket full of Specialbuys you never intended on purchasing.
And while Aldi recently announced it was changing its opening hours on Sunday, which will help with the rush, one shopper has come up with a simple but efficient technique for making trips much quicker, and all you need is a laundry basket.
A TikTok user, who goes by the name 1980sgamer, shared a video of his process on the platform and captioned it: "Now you see all these people wasting their time bagging their groceries? Yeah, skip that."
In the clip the shopper is seen placing items in his trolley as he goes around his local Aldi shop.
He next goes to the checkout as normal and pays for his food, but instead of bagging up his items at the end, he simply throws everything back into his trolley, reports Manchester Evening News.
The video then switches to him going to his car, where he then opens his boot and there are two baskets inside. He places all his groceries into each basket, saving him time inside the shop having to organise all his food.
He added: "Just head to your vehicle with all your groceries loose in the cart like this. Now for this hack to work, you’re going to need two laundry baskets. Start throwing your food into the laundry baskets. Just keep throwing them in there until you fill it up to the top.
"When it's done it should look something like this. So now you can just drive home."
Not only is the hack time-saving, it's also good for the environment as it means you won't be using bags on your weekly supermarket shop.
