Woolworths shopper's 'genius' trick while camping: 'Saved me three hours'

You might have heard the saying that a holiday with kids is not really a holiday - it's just parenting in a different location. While the kiddos get to run wild and live their best lives, their parents are often still tasked with cooking, cleaning and ensuring that everyone gets out the door each day on time and in clean undies.

And, just because you've rented a lovely Airbnb or have set up shop at a campsite or caravan park doesn't mean that food will magically appear in your fridge and pantry for you to whip into a tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner. This means that a trip to your local supermarket is necessary even though you are meant to be getting away from the grind of everyday life.

One Aussie mum has shared her tip for getting around this, posting a video of herself carrying out a hack that her followers deemed "genius".
