“We just bought this paint pourer pot from Aldi just now (married to a painter) and I was getting annoyed trying to hold my drink.

“So she did this! Even has a slot for my phone!

“He’s not getting it now, I’m keeping it.”

Sharing photos of the hack, the holder clearly fits perfectly over the edge of the trolley with its two sections perfectly suitable for a drink and a phone.

The hack gained hundreds of comments from impressed shoppers with one person even saying the woman's daughter was a "future leader".

“Aldi so confused why all these mums suddenly need to paint," one person quipped.

While another simple said: “This is gold!”

It comes after another shopper revealed a simple way to make some extra cash by spending a bit of time in an Aldi car park.

The woman called Natalie shared in a video to her YouTube channel Frugal Aussie how she has adapted a "cheeky side hustle for cash" by paying regular visits to the supermarket.

For just 15 minutes of easy work, Natalie managed to collect $5.
