A woman has shared a genius hack for accessing supermarket trolleys without needing a coin or special keyring, as reported by Wales Online. Traditionally, supermarkets require shoppers to insert a £1 coin or use a specific key to release a trolley from the stack. However, in today’s digital age where many people rely on digital payments and may not carry coins, this process can be inconvenient.
But a resourceful shopper, known as @lookinsidemygarden on Instagram with 150,000 followers, revealed a clever workaround. In a post, she expressed her amazement at the success of the hack, saying: “I can’t believe this worked.” She went on to explain how she discovered that using a regular key can unlock a trolley at a Lidl store, eliminating the need for a coin.
The video demonstrating this trick quickly went viral, with text overlay reading, “No trolley coin, no problem…” The post garnered thousands of likes and comments, with many followers excited to try out the hack themselves. Some users shared variations of the hack, such as using a key to mimic a coin or expressing concerns about potentially damaging their keys.
This innovative solution has sparked enthusiasm among shoppers who have faced the inconvenience of not having a coin or keyring on hand. By sharing this hack, the woman has provided a practical and timely solution for those who encounter similar situations during their grocery runs.
