Basket trick with Woolworths trolley changes your way of shopping
- Replies 19
As we navigate the aisles of our local Woolworths, many of us are on autopilot, grabbing a trolley and tossing in our groceries without much thought to the order or arrangement.
But what if I told you there's a simple yet ingenious method to revolutionise your shopping experience? It's a trick circulating on social media, and it's so straightforward that you'll wonder why it never crossed your mind.
The trick, shared by the multi-talented social media user who juggles the roles of lawyer, author, and mum—involves placing one of Woolworths' hand baskets inside your trolley before you begin your shopping spree.
This isn't just a quirky way to use the basket; it's a strategic move to protect your fruits and vegetables from being crushed under the weight of heavier items.
Let's paint a picture: You enter Woolworths, greeted by the vibrant colours of the fresh produce section.
You select the ripest tomatoes, the crispest lettuce, and perhaps some soft fruits like bananas or peaches.
But as you continue through the store, piling in canned goods, dairy products, and maybe a bottle of olive oil, those delicate items at the bottom of your trolley are at risk.
When you reach the checkout, your fresh produce might have turned into a less-than-appetizing squash salad.
This is where the basket-in-trolley trick comes into play. Keeping your fruits and veggies in the basket creates a separate compartment that safeguards them from being squished.
It's a simple solution to a common problem and is gaining traction among savvy shoppers.
The social media video showcasing this trick begins with a relatable scenario:
‘Sunday night grocery shop, we’re at Woolworths,’ she said.
‘Basket, trolley — basket in trolley.’
‘We’re not starting with fruit and veg because then it’s all gonna get squashed.’
‘We’re starting at the very end—aisle 13.’
The reaction online has been a mix of surprise and admiration.
Some users were initially puzzled, asking, 'What’s the basket inside the trolley trick?’ and ‘Basket in the trolley? I don’t get it’.
However, others were amazed.
‘Just watched this; it's such a good idea to have a basket in your trolley. Keeps your delicate items separate and you can move it around if need be,’ one shared.
‘Why have I never thought to do this? Genius.’ another said.
'I am doing this now. Thanks!’ a third one shared.
In a related story, a mom revealed her trick for simpler grocery shopping at ALDI by placing a laundry basket in the bottom of her cart to skip the bagging process.
