I shop at Aldi pretty frequently. Cause, yanno, it’s cheap.

And one way they purport to keep it cheap is by preventing theft of shopping carts through a quarter rental system.

But what if you don’t have a quarter on you? After all, we carry way less cash in general these days, let along pocket change.

Here’s a possible workaround from TikTok user @prettybullyyog:

“Somebody told me that you can use the key from the corned beef tin to unlock grocery carts when you don’t have a coin. Let’s try it.”

“If this works, it’ll be so convenient cause it can just stay on your keyring. So let’s see.”

“Oh my God.”

“Oh, unlimited free carts! I’m gonna leave this one for the next person.”

Better take a quarter just in case.
