1. The size of the carts.

No, it is not you who are decreasing. These are the growing grocery carts. So much so that manufacturers even began to produce more powerful wheels for trolleys to withstand the load. The larger the cart, the more likely you will end up spending more money. Therefore, try to walk around the supermarket with a basket.

2. Packaged vegetables and fruits.

Sliced fruits and vegetables look attractive and promise to save you time as there is no need to wash or cut them. However, they are much more expensive.

3. Goods at the checkout.

Have you ever wondered why all these magazines and yummy candy are on the checkout counter? This is one of the supermarket tricks that will make you buy something at the last minute while you wait in line.

4. Fragrances first.

Flowers and other pleasant smells such as baked goods can often be smelled before entering a supermarket. Not only will it improve your mood, but it will also provoke your salivary glands to salivate, making you more prone to impulse shopping.

5. Change of location.

You think you know exactly where what is in the windows of your local supermarket. But then they again changed the location of the products on the shelves. Stores really do this on purpose, because if you don't know where the product you want is, you end up spending more time in the store. More time to search means more chances to entice you to buy more.

6. Trick at eye level.

Items that are placed at eye level on the shelves tend to be more expensive. Check the lower shelves for similar products, items that have lower prices.

7. Everything you need is at the end.

Many essentials are found in the back or in the middle of the store, but not in the front. This is because supermarkets want you to walk through the entire store to get to the product you want. The expectation is that you will buy much more along the way.
