Woman gobsmacked after realising proper use for supermarket trolley section

They're something many Irish shoppers use on a regular basis, but one woman was left gobsmacked after realising the proper use for a section of a supermarket trolley.

A common problem with a big grocery shop is finding delicate items squished at the bottom of the trolley, with many accepting the inevitable that some items will come home and not be in their original condition.

But one relieved shopper came across a part of a supermarket trolley that could stop this from happening.

Gemma Bird, who goes by @moneymumofficial on TikTok and Instagram, shared her shopping hack online, much to the delight of other grateful shoppers.

In a now-viral video, she showed her grocery hack that will see the likes of flowers and baguettes getting home without being flattened by milk, Mirror UK reports.

Gemma showed the supermarket trolley that she'd selected and pointed towards the little circular holder the end of it, which is opposite to the baby seat. She captioned the video: "Did you know this? Let me know, I’m in shock, I didn’t haha."

Over the video, she wrote: "Did you know what they were for?" as she expressed her horror that she hadn't realised sooner.

She said: "Is this just me, or did you realise these existed on trolleys?" as she places flowers and a baguette into the designated holders which can be found on the farthest end of the trolley as you push it.

Gemma claimed she was "still in shock" as she opened her mouth in amazement as part of the video.

Others were also gobsmacked by the hack, but some waded in and offered some of their own advice.

One wrote: "Flip it round so its in the small section then put the flowers etc in", and Gemma responded: "Amazing, thanks for the tip!"

Another woman joked: "I thought they were for wine", followed by a crying with laughter emoji. Gemma replied: "Well they can be hun!"

Someone else commented: "Yep, and some have a space below for big packets."
