If you rush into the supermarket and grab a trolley at random then you could be setting yourself up for a fall, according to one shopper. Sharing her trolley 'facts' on TikTok, the savvy shopper says her most recent discovery has 'left her in shock".
Packing your trolley, then unpacking it and packing everything into your shopping bags can often leave delicate items squashed. However, selecting the right trolley and utilising the sections within it can reduce the risk of arriving home with a flattened baguette or headless flowers, judging by one shopper's experience.
Gemma Bird, who goes by @moneymumofficial on TikTok and Instagram, shared her 'must-see' shopping hack with followers, according to a report in the Mirror. She says that she has found a section of the supermarket trolley that will stop squashing from happening.

According to the publication, Gemma showed the supermarket trolley that she'd selected and showed 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 shocked 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!"
Others had already spotted their use. "Yes, some of us been doing this for years but I think I'm bit older than u sweet xx", added one social media user.
