Normally when going to the shops the last thing on your mind to take is an empty tissue box but that's exactly what mums who shop at Aldi have now started doing.
One mum has been branded a "genius" for coming up with the new idea after she shared a video on Facebook.
The mum says her fellow shopper "probably thought I was a bit nuts" when she asked for a picture of the trick, which she then shared, reports Manchester Evening News.

While many of use one shopping bag to carry all of the others stuffed inside, she says the woman had instead placed them neatly inside an old tissue box, keeping them compact and allowing her to pull out one at a time.
She wrote on an Aldi Facebook group: "As I pushed my buggy to the bagging counter, I see the woman next to me pull her plastic grocery sacks out of a Kleenex box.
"I asked her to see the Kleenex box and then laughed right out loud telling her just how brilliant she is.
"She probably thought I was a bit nuts because I wanted a picture of it … But I just had to share. She says she keeps this little Kleenex box in the car and always has little grocery sacks handy. Just plain stinkin’ smart."
The post racked up hundreds of comments as people praised the hack.
One person said: "This is exactly what I call one of the 'Why didn’t I think of that?' moments that I have daily! Brilliant."
A second wrote: "She’s a genius! I’m stealing that idea to keep in my car."
Another added: "I keep a box under all of my sinks, my garage and laundry room but I never thought of one in my car for Aldi stops. Great idea."
Shoppers also noted how the trick can be used in all major supermarkets - meaning ASDA, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl and M&S shoppers can also benefit.
