Woman flabbergasted after realising the proper use for supermarket trolley section

Sometimes when you're out doing your grocery shopping, you'll find that your more delicate items can become squished quite easily. Without playing a game of constant trolley Tetris, there's no real way to avoid it, and you might resign yourself to the fact it's inevitable that something will come home with you and not be in its original condition.

One relieved mum has found a section of the supermarket trolley that will stop this from happening, and people are grateful. Gemma Bird, who goes by @moneymumofficial on TikTok and Instagram shared her must-see shopping hack which will see your flowers and baguettes getting home without being flattened by milk.

Gemma showed the supermarket trolley that she'd selected and showed the end of it which is opposite to the baby seat. She captioned the video: "Did you know this? Let me know, I’m in shock, I didn’t haha."

Over the video, she wrote: "Did you know what they were for?" as she expressed her horror that she hadn't realised sooner.

She said: "Is this just me, or did you realise these existed on trolleys?" as she places flowers and a baguette into the designated holders which can be found on the farthest end of the trolley as you push it.

Gemma claimed she was 'still in shock' as she opened her mouth in amazement as part of the video.

Others were also shocked by the hack, but some waded in and offered some of their own advice.

One wrote: "Flip it round so its in the small section then put the flowers etc in", and Gemma responded: "Amazing, thanks for the tip!"

Another woman joked: "I thought they were for wine", followed by a crying with laughter emoji. Gemma replied: "Well they can be hun!"

Someone commented: "Yep, and some have a space below for big packets."
