Supermarket shoppers reveal clever trolley hacks - but not everyone is convinced

Supermarket savvy shoppers are constantly on the look-out for hacks to streamline their shopping experience.

In an astonishing revelation that swept across social media, a tip emerged on how to unlock a supermarket trolley without the need for a £1 coin. Originally shared by the now-defunct @TodayYearsOld account on the old Twitter platform, this hack left many in awe.

Comments ranged with some saying it was handy, and many pointed out it wasn't that useful. One said: "Pointless, you don't get bags like that until you check out..." Another expressed astonishment at the revelation, saying: "Ohh not even today's years old."

But the art of smart shopping isn't only about cutting corners; its also about keeping your greens greener for longer. Gemma, a popular personal finance guru on Instagram with a following of 440,000, let her audience in on a secret regarding shelf life: "Ok did you know this! A is the month so Jan. The number is the date so say the 18th. Stop getting food waste.", reports the Manchester Evening News.

During a trip to Tesco, she pointed out a label on leeks with the code 'F15', which she interprets as indicating June 15, illustrating where to find these date markers.

Gemma shared a clever tip for those stocking up on freshers food, explaining: "Want to know a hack for buying freshers food? The F is the month! So June if F, and that is month six. January would be A."
