Shopper shares genius Aldi hack that will help you keep up with checkout staff as they scan your items

We all love Aldi's low prices and one-off special buys, but there is one down side to shopping there.

No matter how hard you try, it's very difficult to keep up with how fast staff scan your shopping through the checkouts.

It's like a race against time as you try to show other customers you have it under control and are more than capable of keeping up.

One Aldi shopper has shared a genius way to avoid these mind games and ensure you have a stress-free shopping experience.

The Liverpool Echo reports that 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."
