Shoppers are just discovering simple trolley trick for when you forget coin
A woman has shared a 'life-changing' hack for supermarket trolleys if you forget your coin - and it's so simple.
Most UK supermarkets require a £1 coin to unlock a trolley from the rack. It can be quite frustrating when you arrive at your local supermarket with just your phone and wallet, without any change.
Especially in this day and age where many of us rely on paying by phone, leaving our purses at home. However, one woman has revealed a handy trick that means you don't necessarily need a coin for your next food shop.
Instagram user @lookinsidemygarden, who has an impressive following of 150,000 fans, shared her discovery, exclaiming: "I can't believe this worked."
She added: "Does anyone else get to the supermarket and forgot your coin? Or like me your special coin keyring sometimes doesn't work. So I thought I would try my luck and BOOM, we're in."
Delighted with the surprising results, she concluded: "Now I can fill my trolley with 26,000 snacks for another week of the holiday munches!"
In a brief video, the woman demonstrates how she uses just a standard key to unlock the trolley at Lidl. The clip is captioned: "No trolley coin, no problem..." Since being posted, it has received thousands of likes and comments, with many people keen to try out the trick for themselves.
One person suggested: "Use the key at the other end, it thinks it's a coin. Been doing this years."
Another confessed: "I've always been scared to do that in case my key breaks."
