A Tesco shopper has shared an easy hack to unlock a trolley if you don't have a £1 coin on-hand.
Since the introduction of contactless payments, less and less people carry cash with them so it can be a hassle when supermarkets require a £1 coin for trolley use.
However, a mum-of-three has gone viral after showing her trick to unlock if you're short of a pound.

The woman, who posts on TikTok under the username @tasha3212 has blown users' minds due to its surprising simplicity, writes the Mirror.
Tasha's nifty hack doesn't require a pound coin, but you will still need some other change. In the video, she stacks two 20 pence pieces in the space for the £1 coin. The trolley was released and Tasha was able to continue her shopping trip.
Captioning the post, she wrote: "When some lady shows you this at Tesco, how am I only just learning this?"
The short video has now surpassed 1.4 million views since posting, and hundreds are flocking to the comments, with many users gobsmacked by the revelation.
"Fabulous," one wrote, while another added: "Wow."
One person claimed they always swear by the hack, saying: "Me and my husband always do this."
Some were also keen to share their alternative methods, including a user who claimed: "A pin works too! used to work at Farmfoods and our badges if inserted right while pushing it in unlocks it."
