As a fellow Brit, I know all too well that our nation goes wild for nifty hacks that will help us be more savvy in our day-to-day lives.

Whether it's learning to be a bit more thrifty or just knowing trick or two to save on some time, it's all gold dust to us.

This woman has just discovered a new way to get round the infuriating problem we all face every week when we come to do our food shop: that is, where is the pound coin for the trolley?!

And despite having been given a key-ring every year with a plastic shaped coin dangling off the bottom - somehow, each week, without fail, we spend twenty minutes stripping the car bare in the hope of finding something to shove into the trolley.

The trick is simple: just slot your key into the trolley instead.

Summer posted the hack on Twitter, captioned: "Life hack if you ain't got a quid for a trolley."

Of course, this won't work for every key. For all those with square or triangular heads, I'm afraid the struggle continues.

Summer wasn't the first to think of this though, as many pointed out on Twitter, they have been doing this for a while now.

Some were a bit skeptical, however, suggesting this was an easy way to forget your keys in the supermarket.

"Ok until you forget to take it out after your stopping is done and you you drive home and get to your front door and realise you've left it in the trolley," said one user.

Others however, suggested some of their own hacks.

"You can also use a corned beef can key. Or 2x20ps put together," said someone else.
