While stocking up his trolley, he said: "Just get all of your food like usual, then begin the checkout process by throwing all your food on the belt and then pay for your items."

He then added: "You see all these people wasting time bagging their groceries? Yeah, skip that. Just head to your vehicle with all your groceries loose in your cart like this."

Revealing the hack, he said that he uses laundry baskets, rather than bags, to pack his shopping - which he then carries back to his car.

He continued: "For this hack to work, you're going to need two laundry baskets. Just start throwing your food into those laundry baskets, just keep throwing it in there until you fill it up to the top.

"Now you can just drive home and I just saved you a ton of time by skipping the bagging process with this great grocery hack."

Many people rushed to praise his hack, with one writing: "Oh my god yes! I have been doing this for some time now."
