Shopping Carts

Aldi is legendary when it comes to great prices on groceries, but the store is also known for something else: the cart system. If you have ever been to an Aldi, you are aware that this German supermarket chain follows the European system when it comes to their carts. There is a lock attached to the handlebar of each cart, and you need to insert a quarter into the slot to release the lock. Once you are done with your shopping, simply return the cart to the corral at the front of the store, insert the chain from the cart in front of yours, and the quarter is released back to you. The system keeps the parking lot tidy and is one of the many ways the store keeps costs down, as they don’t have to hire extra staff to collect grocery carts.

Does your supermarket require a quarter to use the shopping cart?

We use The Food Warehouse (Iceland) on Tuesdays & Morrisons on Thursdays both require a £1 coin in their trolleys.I have several other discs that fit perfectly so when Wife & I plus daughter in law go shopping we don't need actual money for trolleys.
