What should I pay attention to when going to the supermarket? 20 Supermarket Shopping Experience Suggestions and Solutions

Follow these tips to make sure you save money and worry while shopping, and boost your purchasing power.

1. Develop a spending plan to avoid impulse purchases

• • Please make a shopping list.
• Not only does this list contain items that are easy to forget to buy, but it helps you only buy what you really need.
• Today, reusable shopping lists can be made effortlessly with the help of a computer.Another advantage is that you can also share with other shoppers.

2. Do not go to the supermarket when you are hungry

• In most cases, a growling stomach can cause people to buy more than usual.
• People tend to buy high-calorie snacks and desserts at this time.

3. Go shopping alone.

• The entourage will only help you fill out the cart.
• When I go shopping with my partner, there are hidden dangers.
• Do this: Maybe it's a good idea to separate shopping by gender.

4. Which supermarket has all the cheapest items?it's out of the question!

• Because supermarket operators will make comprehensive calculations in advance.
• Certain items are offered at low prices to lure customers into the supermarket.
• Other items that are not our focus must be sold at high prices to compensate for low-priced items, because we don't just buy promotions.
• It's a zero-sum game: the total purchases stay the same.

5. Pay attention to the base price

• Big packs aren't necessarily cheaper.
• Small packages also often cost you too much.
• The product can be shaken to reveal the disguise of false packaging (packages with too little inside and too much outer shell).

6. Don’t Blindly Believe Promotional Information

• Promotional messages short-circuit our brains.
• Supermarkets make full and systematic use of this short circuit.
• So you have to ask often, is this product really cheap?
• You become especially sensitive when comparing the actual selling price of an item to the unbound MSRP.
• No business will give gifts in vain for a long time.
• Even when an item is really cheap ask: Do I really need it?

7. Quality has nothing to do with price

• You can get good value for money for a small amount of money!
• In other words: high price and high quality cannot be equated.
• In many cases, cheaper items are even better value for money.

8. Be a Purposeful Shopper

• Those who are in a hurry to shop tend to buy very little.
• It is not unreasonable for merchants to slow down the speed of customers to the speed of shopping when they start in the fruit and vegetable area at the entrance of the supermarket.
• Slow-paced music and narrower passages cause us to walk more slowly.
• Especially terminal shelves, specially placed obstacles, such as displays, small counters and small packages.

9. Don't be too stingy with physical strength, squat down and see more

• Expensive items are always placed at eye level, while cheap items are often placed on the lower shelf.

10. Don’t believe in combination placement

• Overcome your own comfort requirements and make a conscious effort to walk around the shopping process.
• Because it is the seller's request to take advantage of your comfort by placing goods in a systematic combination.
• The price of these products is usually higher than the price of individual items.

11. Don't choose a shopping cart when you can use a shopping basket

• Huge shopping carts always make it easy for us to indulge in shopping, and the heavier and heavier shopping carts will inhibit shopping.

12. Browse the shelves from right to left

When we are looking for items, we like to read articles in the same direction, and expensive items will be placed at the end of our line of sight - to the right.

13. Buy supermarket own brands whenever possible

• The vast majority of well-known brand items, those aimed at prestigious and high-end consumers, command a premium price due to spending a lot of money on brand marketing.
• There are always some cheap supermarket branded items that can be substituted for branded items.
• These items are often produced by the same manufacturer as the big-brand items.Especially cheap supermarkets will use this trick.

14. Reduce shopping stress

• If you need to buy some more before you run out of items at home, it's best to buy them during clearances and big sales, not at the usual prices.
• No product promotion is an 'I'4, and a similar promotion is guaranteed to appear in other supermarkets in a maximum of 4 weeks.

15. Try to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables

• Anyone who can't resist buying asparagus in the fall or watermelon and cherries in the winter usually pays a high price.

16. Go against the trend

When prices are low, make some reserve to buy gifts for a year, and keep a small pantry in your own home.For example, the price of champagne after the end of the year (the end of the year in Western countries refers to December 12) will be significantly lower than a period of time before.

17. Be clear and firm at the cashier

• The area near the cashier where all kinds of delicious snacks are placed is the most stressful area for parents with children.
• Only a firm no-buy attitude and an irreversible ban on these little treats will keep your kids or grandchildren (granddaughters) by the rules.

18. Avoid queues

• If you don't want to stand in line, don't go shopping after get off work or on weekends, and in the days immediately preceding a holiday.

19. Avoid the "snooping" of merchants

• One must be clear, every time you use your loyalty and discount cards, you will pay the price of revealing your important personal information and spending habits.
• Are those (usually few) deals and discounts really worth it?

20. Cover your bank and credit cards

• Best to settle in cash!
• Spending real money can make us really feel bad.
• This also strengthens our sense of crisis over the amount of spending.
• All relevant research shows that more money is spent with cards than with cash.

Why plan a spending budget?

Because there are too many shopping traps in the mall, it is easy to spend it if you are not careful, and many of these things are wasted when you buy them.

Since avocados (avocados) are not easy to grow, the market price is high.

• If you're going to eat avocados, eat one a week.
• Eating an avocado a week for women can balance estrogen, protect the health of a woman's uterus and cervix, and prevent cervical cancer.
• Avocados can last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Before shopping, it's a good idea to take a computer with you and calculate the total cost before paying.

If it exceeds the budget, it is necessary to remove unnecessary items and replace them with other cost-effective items.

for example:The nutrition of 1 avocado is equivalent to 3 eggs, so it is recommended to eat 3 eggs a day to supplement it.

（1个鸡蛋大概RM0.30而已，1天3个鸡蛋等于RM1左右）

• Breakfast: eat fruit, bread or biscuits + 1 hard boiled egg.
• Lunch and Dinner: Meal, 2 courses + 1 poached egg.
