Beware of this Supermarket Tricks (Zentech 6:1-7)
07 October 2007
1 When does the last time you went to supermarket and instead buying five items that's on your groceries list from home, you buy twenty items that you don't need? Don't be discouraged if you have done this. Because supermarkets are evil, they have these tricks to fool you. Learn this and you don't have to be fooled again. They have the technology to make you buy more.
2 Eye candy. Tempting impulse items aren't just located by the cash register. Many stores put the candy/sweets aisle directly opposite the cereal aisle so a must-have (cereal) easily leads to a must-avoid (candy). No wonder I don't get any slimmer.
3 End-caps People often assume that because something is featured and stacked up at the end of the aisle that it must be on sale or new or on some other kind of special. Stay away from the end of the aisle, my advise.
4 Shelf shuffles. Supermarkets often rearrange the order and location of basic items in a blatant effort to keep customers looking longer and spending more time in the store shopping. Tips : go to smaller markets because they have limited items.
5 Cozy spots to relax. By incorporating comfortable places to relax like cafes and coffee shops grocery stores make it easy for you to make shopping almost an all-morning or all-afternoon event. The more time you spend the more you're going to buy. That's why sometimes when you finished the shopping, you have this small bakery or coffee shop that you can relax for a while.
6 Tantalizing smells. Stores often position the bakery or deli near the entrance so the first thing you smell and think of when you walk in is freshly baked sweets and rotisserie chicken. I must admit that sometimes my nose is my weakness. No wonder I'm sucker for this tricks.
7 Be careful the next time you go to supermarket. Stick to the grocery list!
