An Aldi shopper has claimed to have witnesses "the best hack ever" when it comes to packing away groceries.

She said the other person "probably thought I was a bit nuts" for photographing the trick, but it soon went viral after she shared it online. Lots of people found it interested, with some praising it as "genius".

The simple hack involves just a tissue box and carrier bags, Mirror UK reports.

Writing on an Aldi Facebook group, the woman explained how the other shopper had stored her plastic bags neatly inside the box, compactly stored to allow her to pull one out at a time, like tissues.

"As I pushed my buggy to the bagging counter, I see the woman next to me pull her plastic grocery sacks out of a Kleenex box. I asked her to see the Kleenex box and then laughed right out loud telling her just how brilliant she is.

"She probably thought I was a bit nuts because I wanted a picture of it, but I just had to share. She says she keeps this little Kleenex box in the car and always has little grocery sacks handy. Just plain stinkin’ smart."

The post garnered lots of attention online, with hundreds taking the time to comment.

One person replied: "This is exactly what I call one of the 'Why didn't I think of that?' moments that I have daily! Brilliant."

A second wrote: "She’s a genius! I’m stealing that idea to keep in my car."

Others said they have used the method to store bags at home, with some suggesting an old baby wipe box works just as well, but added that they had never considered taking it with them to the supermarket.

Someone else added: "I keep a box under all of my sinks, my garage and laundry room but I never thought of one in my car for Aldi stops. Great idea."
