This ALDI customer’s genius hack to cure APP (that’s ALDI Packing Panic) will be the best thing you see today!

Why didn’t we think of this!? - by Amy Sinclair
  • 28 Mar 2019

Anyone who’s shopped at ALDI knows the checkout panic only too well.

That panic that sets in when you have to rush and pack your groceries at lightning speed into bags, in a desperate attempt to keep up with the super fast cashier. 

This ALDI customer’s genius hack to cure APP (that’s ALDI Packing Panic) will be the best thing you see today!

Well now one clever customer has come up with a genius way to stop APP - that’s ALDI Packing Panic - once and for all, and we couldn’t love it more.

Twitter user Jon Fox took to social media to share how he uses two of IKEA’s famous blue bags to quickly cart away his ALDI shopping. 

Showing how the open blue bags fit perfectly into an ALDI trolley side by side, they’re just the thing for holding lots of groceries - and being easy to load as the super fast ALDI cashier rings up your items.

Says Jon: 'Friday big shop hack. So much faster than packing at the shelf afterwards. Just make sure your shopping is loaded heavy to light so nothing gets crushed!’

Jon Fox on Twitter

Good advice! ALDI recently boasted that their checkout cashiers are 40 per cent faster than their rivals, with multiple barcodes on products meaning staff are able to scan products very quickly.

And while that’s great news for shoppers who want to be on their way as soon as possible, it can be stressful for customers to keep up with the cashiers while packing. 

Which is where Jon’s IKEA hack comes in. After all, we’ve all got a few IKEA bags in the back of the closet hiding away - and now you can put them to good use. Love it!
