How to stop wasting the entire salary in the supermarket

Before going to the store

Make a list of products

Prepare necessary not only to large-scale purchases of provisions, but also to campaign for bread for dinner. If you do not have a clear plan to bring home to you anything. A bread can remain in the store, and then you have to go there again. And just buy a bunch of useless again, and so the circle, can you imagine?

Next time, be reasonable and make approximately the following list:

1. Bread.
2. Go home.

The list is not better prepare before going to the store and advance. He entered in the products as soon as you find that they run out. So you do not forget anything.

Record products by category. Try to order match the store zoning, if in your supermarket the first zone of fruits and vegetables, the list start with potatoes and apples.

eat

First, supermarkets are using zonal flavoring to enhance the pleasurable and stimulating the appetite of food smells: fresh pastries, coffee, citrus fruits. Secondly, when we are hungry, we feel that you need to buy just a little more, for future use. Here and the list can not be saved, and instead of one loaf of bread you buy two.

Schedule time for shopping

Haste will cause that you will pay attention to the most vivid and unusual décor products. That is to do exactly what you want from marketers. And the interests of marketers and customers often do not coincide.

Leave the kids at home, or said with the rules of their

Supermarkets know that deny children is very difficult, and take advantage of this: arranges the brightest products at their eye level. So in your cart are glazed curds, chocolate eggs with surprises and lollipops.

If you can not or do not want to leave the kids at home, enough to say the rules in advance. For example, only a parent has the right to put an item in the basket, the child may ask for a one time purchase, no scandals failure.

Take a limited amount of money and leave the credit card at home

You've already made a list. The approximate cost of the products that are included in your shopping cart use, you probably know. Count everything, add 10% on the safe side, take the amount of cash and go to the store. So there will be less temptation to put in the basket something just because you really wanted to.

In the shop

Take the basket and not the cart

The trolley is made specially for you to buy more. This again is a trick marketers: we feel uncomfortable, while the bottom remains blank. That is why an area is constantly growing.

Some supermarkets have only carts. In this case, proudly reach for their ekosumku and use it instead of a basket.

Avoid bottlenecks

Most likely, you have noticed that in some places the supermarket are often formed a queue of buyers. While you wait, you will scrutinize the products on the shelves beside and probably grab something that is not going to buy.

Keep left

Usually in the shop, we are moving "in the right lane." It is usual, because that is how organized the traffic in our country. You guessed it, on the right shelves at the supermarket is all unnecessary, but very bright. On the left we see only those products that are at eye level.

Become an exception to the rules of the "golden the shelf"

"Golden" - a shelf at a height of 1.2 to 1.7 meters, which are located at the level of the majority of buyers eye. Places they often take the products that the supermarket is more profitable to sell. Pay attention to the less widely promoted products at upper and lower shelves.

verify prices

When we look at the total amount on the check, expectation and reality do not always coincide. This happens for different reasons - you misunderstood the terms of the action, the price tags on the shelf moved, shifted, or the buyer the goods, and the clerk could not get it back in place.

To avoid this from happening, use the price checker. In most supermarkets is a stationary device, which costs somewhere in the maze of shelves. If you can not find it, contact your sales assistant.

In shops "Dixie" price checker is in the own mobile application. With it, you can quickly find out the cost of the goods, and not to look for it at the price tag. Just takes off the shelf product that you liked, scanning a barcode and see the actual price. In the same program can be before going shopping to check what products are now the biggest discounts.

Use the application it is possible not only in the "Dixie", but also in other shops. You can scan the barcode and quickly check if you can not buy goods cheaper.

Look deep into the shelf

It was there hiding fresh products, especially milk. For suppliers it is important to realize as much as possible without writing off the goods, so the edge of the shelf will always be products with expiring.

Do not buy pre-packaged products

It is much easier to take the already packaged vegetables: do not mess about in potato tubers, or look for the package, and then go and weigh its contents. But the products in the package can not examine from all sides and feel, so that some of them may be corrupted by. And do not forget to check the weight indicated on the package.

at the checkout

Do not grab the shelves to checkout all in a row

Yes, the wait is extremely tedious, and viewing of gum and it brightens up the batteries. But they are not on your shopping list. Be careful: there is no small expenditure.

Check checks on the spot

It so happens that the punch 100 instead of 10 eggs. There's no malice cashier, just a typo. But you can pay extra 90 eggs, if you do not have the habit of checking the check in the calculation.
