Know the enemy in the face 10 of the rules of behavior in the store

Writes blogger iridium77:

I no longer buy all sorts of semi-finished products, food bags a la "peach flavored melon", milk cartons (think that is added to the milk, if it is there at all, so it does not spoil during the year out of the refrigerator, and on As zakisaniya ... began to taste bitter, and google), and many other long-lasting products. Moreover, going to the supermarket, I put in the basket only what I really need.

It is no secret (or maybe for someone and secret) that supermerkety planned so as to kill your desire to purchase natural and / or low-cost products. Even if you do, and so you know, sometimes it is important to remind ourselves of these small and non-small Tips and tricks aimed at to sell us, not only as much as possible names, and not just the most expensive products, but also to make our diet is extremely unhealthy.

Share with you some points for reflection from Captain Obvious in the amount of 10 pieces (under the cut)





1. Before entering remember what you came for (if you are sufficiently organized and diligent, you can compile a list of products in advance), and make a rough path in the head (milk department - meat department - Department of Vegetable - Alcoholic Beverages Division - and so on. d.).

2. Remember that in the supermarket wisely arranged everything, absolutely everything will have to adjust to unplanned spending.

3. The music that accompanies you along the paths of the supermarket, its rhythm, as well as in clothing stores (where it is able to make any gray mouse feel like a model on the catwalk) is selected so that you will want to buy all sorts of things, it's not a joke. As long as you sing along with «They tried to make me go to rehab, but i say no, no, no», your "greedy hands" are clearly the music to carry products from the shelves in your shopping cart.

4. Large advertised promotions 3x2 (buy three, pay for two) and superskidkah 50% for certain products - before the rush to buy something on such a "low-cost" figure out how much it costs one name (for humanities: Share obschuu amount the number of pieces) and check for a number of (often on the lower shelves) similar products without rebates that will cost you even less.

5. Remember, supermarkets KNOW that very often the buyers come "only milk" (or other basic goods). In fact, remember, you once out of the supermarket, "only with milk?" If you do not megazheleznoy will of man is unlikely. And why? Dairy and other "basic" department is always located in the far corners of the store, so on the way to the goal you will wait temptations and super special, as well as products that "at the same time is also possible to buy».

6. The logical continuation of the preceding paragraph is the conclusion that the most essential (and most natural) products, you probably will find, if you go around the perimeter of the store, the central and most extensive "alley" will certainly be filled with semi-finished products, "plastic food" ( I call chips, long lasting bread and similar stuff) and other junk food. Conclusion: nice to know plan their supermarket or at least just to have the above in mind.

7. If your growth outside the large or unconventionally small, consider that in the context of supermarketovyh tricks you're in luck - the most unhealthy and most expensive products are usually exhibited at eye level of an average person. Keep this in mind and do not hesitate to perform squats or download calf, standing on tiptoe, looking at the upper and lower shelves.

8. About your supermarkets too lazy to know everything, that's why for you, they have already prepared and packaged weighted fruits and vegetables, and even special soup sets (onions, carrots, cabbage, etc. - all in one package, took - and the soup is ready ). Of course, you can be scary too lazy to wear gloves, choose apples individually and weigh all that stuff. But, as might be expected, buying something for which you have done, you will significantly overpay. In addition, a typical package-tray, covered with transparent film, allows supermarkets "fusing" rotten or bruised from one side vegetables and fruits. And rest assured, they use this opportunity very actively.

9. Heavy artillery: shares with gifts. "When buying for the amount above 3000rub. - Pan as a gift ". It is better to know about these actions have on hand, coincided - and that's fine. Most people, gaining 2,000 rubles begin to frantically search for "what this has to buy to get the frying pan." As a result, you spend more than planned, and likely to nonsense. With this you get for 1000rub. pan, which could successfully buy, say 200 rubles.
And well, if we are talking about a frying pan ... it is that we somehow certainly want to buy products of the required amount to receive a gift of a stuffed toy or some warm souvenir checkered plaid. All this, and you probably do not need the gift).

10. If you are successful and lossless walked through the supermarket, even at the box office is not in a hurry to relax - here you are waiting for is the cheapest in the world trick for infirm. Scattering of colored chewing gum, chocolate, candies and other colorful little things you did at first not interested. But standing in the queue, you begin to boredom consider this broth of virtual particles and antiparticles. Sooner or later, the hand can tremble and put in the basket a couple of packs of chewing gum with new supervkusami "village mango" and "childhood friend guayavy." About purely Russian (not sure yet but I except in Russia did not see anywhere else) feature - the sale of cigarettes, condoms and pregnancy tests right at hand - I say nothing, because the effect is the same, "damn, have to buy at the same time."

All health and good shopping!
