PEOPLE are using them for all sorts these days – even to transform them into homes.

But one man came up with a novel use for an old Tesco container unit, and took to TikTok to share his idea.

Jamie posted a video of a lorry transporting the Tesco unit – which he picked up on Facebook Marketplace – to the front of his house.

He then showed what the container looked like in position.

And to make the unit stand out even more, he added LED lights to the bottom of it.

"Best £500 I ever spent, on a Tesco container for storage," he wrote over the clip.

"Scrappers in Bolton sell them at like £200 I think they are," another replied.

Others were more complimentary about Jamie's new addition, with one writing: "Looks mint in garden that!"
