He tweeted: “@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!”

With the huge blue bag safely in the trolley, shoppers can just put their items into the bag and carry it out to the car.

Genius!
