How to shop rationally in supermarkets

Reason for following The kind-hearted reader has to worry about me again: You have written such a small article that has nothing to do with tourism. I really thought that Buzhu would always pamper you. Not only does he not delete the post, but he always adds content to you? ! No, no, this is a huge fallacy. Supermarkets are a sight that I never miss when I travel to various places. They can reflect the customs and cultural traditions of various places and allow you to quickly integrate into the unique lives of local people. To replenish daily necessities for travel or buy travel souvenirs as gifts, local supermarkets are the best choice. Especially when traveling abroad, supermarkets are unique in solving many problems such as acclimatization and language barriers. It allows you to visit the supermarket with the mentality of visiting a relative in the Spring Festival or the mentality of an anthropologist visiting a museum. How comfortable it is. Walking through all kinds of supermarkets is like walking through a Pavarotti opera.

Focus on the work-study program when studying abroad. I worked in a supermarket as a supermarket tally and salesperson for a long time. I was considered a half-assed person in the industry. So now when I go to the supermarket with my family and friends, I always habitually change the items they put in the shopping cart. Most of them were also very interested in learning and selling the Sunflower Tips for Supermarket Shopping that I explained. I think there must be a lot of people who enjoy shopping in supermarkets, and competing with supermarkets to compete with their wits, talents and vision is also an endless pleasure. Therefore, there are too many tips that need to be taught to write this article, so I use an outline and concise article, and many vivid practical examples have to be omitted. Please read it and combine it with your own rich experience. Let’s embark on a treacherous supermarket journey together.

The opening chapter of The First Familiar Eye, The Expert and the Low Dharma, mentioned that when I go to the supermarket with my family and friends, I can’t help but change the items they put in the shopping cart. This is because almost all people, from When picking up items from the shelves, I have fallen into the trap of the supermarket.

I guess you use your right hand to pick up the goods from the outermost row or the top floor. The key word is "suishou", which contains a lot of knowledge and embodies the supermarket's "hard work" and secret laws.

The second-hand goods that you are eager to sell must be waiting for you in the most convenient and convenient location. Therefore, you should develop a good habit of using your left hand to pick up items from the innermost shelf of the shelf! If you don’t believe it, you can see clearly by comparing the production date or expiry date. This is the first point.

Second, when taking things from the freezer, you must learn to "buy the bottom". Even if the production date of the surface layer is the same as the bottom layer, the quality will be affected by the continuous rise and fall of the storage temperature.

Third, the same kind of products in the supermarket are gathered together to facilitate your purchase. The products that are easiest for your eyes to see are often the brand products that the supermarket has the highest profit margin and is most willing to recommend to you. .

Keep in mind the four-character tactic of "having a high eye but a low hand". Sometimes you stand on tiptoes and sometimes bend your knees in front of the shelves. Use your own mind to analyze the price-performance ratio of non-eye-catching brands and eye-catching products on high and low shelves, and choose the one that suits you best. brands and products. Remember, the brand with the largest sales volume is not the brand that is most suitable for you; the louder the advertisement, the more advertising costs you have to share.

Fourth, when choosing cooked food, choose one that is far away from the sales staff. When I was working part-time in a supermarket, because of my skillful knife skills, I was also responsible for making and selling various salads. The parts of the salad display cabinet that customers can clearly see are all freshly made that day, fresh and crispy, and the second-hand items that cannot be sold out the next day are placed close to the teller, making it most convenient for them to load them for you.

Fifth, if you need to buy a certain product, when the supermarket clerk is replenishing the goods, you must choose the one freshly baked from the storage warehouse from his forklift. For example, for fruits, when the tallyman is unpacking and replenishing the goods, what you get from the original box must be the freshest. The second method of label identification is that all people with low education are familiar with the black words written on white paper. Very superstitious. The black and white words in the supermarket should not be superstitious, at least include:

First, the supermarket labels are packaged and pasted by the supermarket itself. Before opening the store every day, the busiest thing in supermarkets is to remove packaging and labels. Some supermarkets are lazy and put new labels directly on the original labels. Therefore, you should first look at product labels calmly and gracefully. If you see overlapping labels, uneven labels or even signs of replacement, avoid them.

Second, the label on the packaging of the product itself. Many people are willing to be attracted by the colorful packaging, but are unwilling to examine the packaging with a critical eye. In fact, many defective products are exposed on the packaging labels.

For example, packaging with typos, packaging that is inconsistent with appearance, packaging with incomplete manufacturer information, packaging with no one to answer the customer hotline, and products that cannot use pigments, preservatives, and preservatives without clear Listed packages.

Take a small example, such as toilet paper. Every supermarket has so many brands, making you indecisive. Using the label identification method, for those products that do not indicate whether they are 100% virgin wood pulp or whether they use fluorescent powder, you must be aware that they are made from recycled paper and have added fluorescent powder for whitening.

Third, for similar products, the longer the expiry date stated on the label, the more questionable it is. There is no doubt that manufacturers and supermarkets like products with a long expiry date. The question is, why can it do this? Did they add more preservatives than others, or did they irradiate the product with X-rays? You must know that whether it is love or food, quick decay is the only secret to beauty.

Fourth, the import labels on fruits are mostly gimmicks to deceive people. In a large fruit-producing country that strives to process quickly and pass through as few hands as possible to maintain freshness, it is incredible to put labels on individual fruits.

In many of our supermarkets, affixing import labels can not only conceal the shame and conceal the flaws, but also double the value several times. Why not? What's more, labels such as "Origin: United States" on fruits are actually introduced and cultivated in China. It's just that the fruit is native to the United States. According to the logic of the supermarket, when we fill in our place of birth, we should write "Beijing Shanshandong".

Fifth, the validity period of many imported foods is only until the month. The real meaning is that the validity period is only until the first day of the month. But we were all misled by the supermarket that the validity period was valid until the last day of the month, which was invisibly delayed by a month.

Sixth, bulk food is the hardest hit area, and labels are often missing. Supermarkets should be required to clearly indicate this. If the supermarket cannot do this, it will directly enter the fifth law claim procedure.

Seventh, the special price labels of each supermarket have their own characteristics. It is not difficult for a thoughtful person to learn to identify the degree of discount from the label.

For example, a price reduction message scrawled with a marking pen and a cardboard box makes people feel hasty, rough and inconspicuous, but it is often the most favorable one with the largest price reduction, because it is not carefully planned by the supermarket. Temporary sales; for another example, some supermarkets have the most cost-effective "Today's Store Manager Recommendation", while others have the most cost-effective "Discount until a certain day of the month".

However, the words are vague, just like many women begin to be vague about their age when they reach the age of 30, and they are generally labeled as "big sale on all products", "special sale", "direct delivery from the factory" and "preferential price" Such huge labels, no matter how beautifully printed, gorgeous, or ostentatious, are often not very affordable.

The third method of psychological warfare is to know that the supermarkets on which we rely for survival and prosperity are masters who study marketing and customer psychology every day. If you want to avoid being led by the supermarket, it is obviously very painful to just suppress your strong desire to buy caused by the supermarket. At this time, knowing oneself and the enemy, and fighting a hundred battles without danger, psychological tactics are particularly important.

First let’s get into the psychological warfare of browsing supermarket advertisements.

Many supermarket advertisements like to talk about daily necessities such as Coke, mineral water, shampoo and body wash. That is because people who are not proficient in daily necessities also know the market prices of these commodities. When you see a can of Coke in a supermarket for only 1.5 yuan and a bottle of mineral water for only 60 cents, your eyes must be wide open with big exclamation marks hanging inside. You must be excited to think that the prices in this supermarket are extremely low, and other products are very cheap. It’s not that expensive, so you’ve been fooled.

In fact, using Coca-Cola mineral water as a gimmick just shows that this supermarket is very cunning. Its discounts are not strong enough and lackluster, and there are no real eye-catching product discounts. It can be seen from this that from the time I started reading supermarket advertisements, psychological warfare has been filled with smoke and corpses everywhere.

For example, a single-color advertising flyer is far less attractive than a color advertising flyer. It relies on the real discount of the product to make up for the shortcomings of the single color, so there are good things; for example, the supermarket rule is "throw away jade" "Introducing bricks", don't be attracted by the "jade" in the prominent position on the advertising flyer, but bring back a lot of "bricks" that are just fake;

Another example is a one-page advertising flyer that lists many offers. Products are more attractive, but the fewer the number of products listed, the higher the discount, because the usual belief in supermarket advertising flyers is that "quantity complements quality, it is better to have excess than shortage", and if quantity is insufficient, quality must win; for another example, Supermarkets attach great importance to their own anniversaries, and the contract clearly requires suppliers to make a large expenditure to cooperate with the store celebrations, so these special days are worth looking forward to.

Secondly, at the entrance of the supermarket, a large number of products with special discounts are often piled up. The purpose is to make you excited all of a sudden and create the illusion that there is a big discount in the whole store, so you can buy big. When you buy a lot and can no longer carry them, you often forget about the best deals at the entrance.

Thirdly, most of the senior sales staff in supermarkets with evergreen smiles on their faces have decoders that are as qualified as fortune tellers to read customers' psychological activities. If you want to know about product performance, it is better to check scientific evidence on the Internet and other channels. Do not try to compete with the sales staff.

I have seen many customers buy several hundred yuan of tooth whitening products for "invalid refunds", but they did not know that a complete whitening at a regular dentist only costs 70 or 80 yuan.

Fourth, recognize the intensity of discounts. Buy-one-get-one-free, free gifts, bundled sales, huge price reductions and other tricks to attract people's attention are the magic weapons of supermarkets that have been tried and tested. Many people have developed the "good" habit of always buying products on sale in supermarkets. They don't buy unless there is a discount, thinking that this way they won't lose money.

In fact, you must learn to see through the supermarket’s scheming offers and genuine offers. The so-called sophisticated discounts, for example, you are happy to get a gift, but the genuine product you bought is not cost-effective; for example, you choose a promotional brand with a 20% discount, but other brands that do not reduce the price are more cost-effective.

Fifth, don’t shop for the lottery. Supermarkets have succeeded by creating an atmosphere that makes you feel that you will lose money if you don't buy. Lottery is a shortcut to success.

Sixth, when the supermarket is too thoughtful for you, think carefully. The supermarket where I worked often used discounted Japanese beef to attract customers from time to time, and the business was very good. Next to the mouth-watering red beef, there is always a lot of French wine placed "coincidentally". Customers who snap up beef at a discount are always cooperative and take away a bottle of wine and go home satisfied. Needless to say, that itch of wine always comes with a hefty price tag.

Seventh, the seemingly random displays in supermarkets are actually based on a thorough study of shopping psychology and have a coherent internal logical relationship. If you don’t want to follow the crowd and buy more and more, and you don’t want to spend your time doing fire reconnaissance first, it is recommended that you visit the supermarket backwards, that is, take the opposite route to the normal direction of travel and start shopping from the end. You will find that shopping is more rational and smarter. Reasonable.

Eighth, membership points cards expose you to supermarket firepower. Many people think that it is cost-effective to get a membership points card and use the points to redeem items for cash. As everyone knows, by analyzing your past shopping lists, supermarkets can accurately determine your family structure, income level, education level, consumption habits and consumption tendencies, and then attack the city in a targeted manner.

So, don’t be too specific about supermarkets, it’s better to be more casual. Because the supermarket is not love, there is really no reason for you to give up the entire sky because of one star.

The fourth method is the piercing eye method. We return to the act of shopping in the supermarket itself and develop a pair of piercing eyes. The summary of our own failure lessons and the teaching of other people's secrets are the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.

There are unique identification methods for purchasing various products. I am a professional gourmet, so it is more difficult than Shu Dao to hide all food items from my discerning eyes and professional taste buds.

Regarding this sharp eye, I have already introduced it in my humble article "Eating Words and Food: Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention when Traveling and Dining". For example, how to avoid buying beef will make you realize that life is like a hand. This piece of buffalo-infused beef is a little bit of meat and a lot of water, etc. I won’t go into details here. If you want to know the key control points in selecting various types of food, you may wish to click and browse.

In addition, the six methods listed in this article can be integrated with each other. For example, when purchasing cooking oil, you can use label recognition to make a dazzling decision. Because there is a long gap between the production date and the expiry date of edible oil, it can basically be determined that it has been hydrogenated.

Second, dealing with supermarket lighting requires a sharp eye. Supermarkets are like filming Hollywood blockbusters, with the best lighting designers and makeup artists. Different lighting effects can quickly increase the charm index of the product and cover up shortcomings and defects. Therefore, remember to consider the selected product under different light sources, preferably under natural light.

Third, dealing with color requires a keen eye. If a supermarket wants to seduce your shopping desire to the maximum extent, it must first satisfy your eyes. Colors that are both expressive and emotional are the most eye-catching.

So, dyeing yellow croaker yellow, dyeing eggplant purple, dyeing sesame black, dyeing watermelon red, dyeing roast chicken gold, etc. are not high-tech anymore. You can dye egg yolks into red hearts and bean skins into coffee. Fans are only at the junior level, and I won’t talk about the more powerful ones, so as not to scare you with alarmist remarks and confuse people’s opinions. Amidst the sighs of "Is this a supermarket or a dyeing shop?", we should not take it lightly. All dyes are poisons. Malachite green, crystal violet and the like are more toxic, so you must have a basic awareness of prevention.

Fourth, dealing with taste requires a keen eye. I will also analyze in detail in the sixth rule of law later that many highly processed foods that are popular in supermarkets do taste very good. Children especially like them, and parents are also happy to please their children.

But you have to understand that those "delicious" hardcover foods are sold so cheaply. No matter how uninitiated you are, no matter how bad your arithmetic is, you deduct 40% of the supermarket's profit and another 10% or 20% of the logistics. After deducting 10% or 20% of the exquisite packaging from the warehousing capital cost, how much raw material cost is left? If manufacturers don't go out of their way to tinker with all kinds of chemical seasonings that no one can figure out, can they fool children's taste buds?

I have a friend who specializes in supplying all kinds of hot pot ingredients for supermarkets. He complains that if the cost of raw materials is not controlled within 10% of the wholesale price, it is impossible to compete with others. Therefore, he never lets his family eat the cheap, delicious hot pot ingredients he makes himself, which are popular in production and sales, and he is too embarrassed to invite me to taste them.

What I didn’t expect was that, except for meat products, cooked foods and hard-covered foods, I used my professional taste buds to discover that the best-selling brand-name red dates and chestnuts all use chemical sweeteners. No wonder the soaked masterpiece is so sweet and delicious. The occasional rotten fruit is still so sweet, and no one questions it. Thanks to it being a national chain, you know how humiliated our taste buds are.

Fifth, food safety requires a keen eye. The "Food Safety Law" was officially implemented on Children's Day at the beginning of this month. People who promote narrow-minded people will ridicule it as "pediatric" and "treat it as child's play", but I prefer to understand it as Mr. Lu Xun's "save the children".

Just as you cannot expect the crime rate to drop suddenly after the promulgation of the "Criminal Law", the effect of the "Food Safety Law" also requires the improvement of food safety awareness among all consumers.

If you see a lot of rats strutting around in the supermarket, you will definitely be so angry that you will call the supermarket manager out and curse him; then if you see those obviously unsafe or suspected unsafe foods strutting through the market like a corps of rats, why not Should supermarkets be ordered to rectify themselves?

There is a famous saying in the milk industry: "We just mix melamine into milk, but those idiots mix milk into melamine." Those conscientious industry insiders, those large supermarkets with independent testing mechanisms, and those consumers who understand the samadhi, why didn't they stand up and speak earlier, why didn't they "save the children" earlier? Why do we have to wait until the "biggest lesson" to be dealt with in one go? Why can't we prepare for a rainy day in the small and exquisite lesson stage?

I hope that from now on, the word "food safety" will not be as desolate as words like "bodybuilding pants", "Cai Guoqing" and "Misty Poems"; but like chewing gum, everyone chews it. In the mouth, it's a cool thing. If you can't do "a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat it", even if you can do "a beautiful woman crossing the street, everyone shouts "hello" is still good.

The fifth way to save money is as follows: An expert at Ctrip (I won’t name him because I want to avoid being suspected of flattery) said it well: “You can be extravagant, but you cannot waste it.” His subtle words are profound and thought-provoking. What I want to add is: "Making money requires talent, and spending money requires talent even more." When I should be extravagant, I am more extravagant than anyone else, and when I can save money, I am more economical than anyone else. There is no contradiction at all.

I think the most important thing about saving money in supermarkets is to pay attention to quality first. This sounds even more contradictory: "If the quality is good, the price must be expensive. How can we save money? If we want to save money, we should look for bargains." Big mistake. A master of shopping, he must not choose cheap and inferior goods, but how to buy top quality at the most suitable price.

There is a professional pork processing factory in southern Fujian that specializes in the Japanese market (I still won’t say its name, this time not to avoid being suspected of flattery, but to avoid suspicion of advertising), which produces bacon , ham, sausages and other products are made of fine materials and are of high quality. I asked my master to identify them and he was amazed that they were more authentic than those made in Japan. I recommended them to people around me and received rave reviews.

However, this manufacturer with top-notch product quality is in an extremely embarrassing situation. In the Japanese market, although the price is much cheaper and the quality is better than similar products, Japanese consumers who are superstitious about domestic products dismiss meat products from China; in the Chinese domestic market, because the cost price is much higher than other brands , even if they do business at a loss, they can't compete with those "well-known brands" that are "seen every day" on TV. Of course, consumers are more willing to buy brand-name goods at low prices, but how can they care about the inherent quality? I don’t think this good factory can last long, which is a pity. From this we can also understand why there are so many people in the world who have no talent.

For individual consumers, when you suddenly realize that choosing high quality is the real way to save money, when you start to truly understand the joy of life.

Second tip for saving money, you don’t have to know what you want to pursue in your life, but you can’t go to the supermarket without knowing what you really need. My words sound more like Zhou Guoping's.

The second way to save money is to make a supermarket shopping list. It can help you resist the temptation to buy things you don’t need or things you may use in the future (in the future) is unknown, but the fate of shelving it is known), let alone buying too many things that are easily perishable. Remember: the more one possesses, the more one is possessed.

Third tip for saving money, this still sounds like Zhou Guoping’s. You must know how to choose the most appropriate time to do the most appropriate thing.

Everyone likes to go shopping in supermarkets on weekends. When supermarkets are busy, as long as they are colorful and busy, it is enough to attract customers without making real concessions. On the contrary, in order to cope with the lack of sales and sluggish sales on Mondays and Tuesdays, many supermarkets often have more realistic special offers.

This is about choosing a suitable shopping day. There are differences in different time periods on the same day. For example, before the store closes, most fresh vegetables, meat, and seafood will be on sale. Many people rush in to grab them without asking anything, as if they are free of charge. At this time, you need to be careful. Some prices have indeed dropped sharply, but most of them are just free rides and are just a little cheaper. Many times, there is a kind of pleasure in impulse, and other times, staying away is a kind of ethics.

Tip 4 to save money, be careful of trolley traps. Careful readers will find that the trolleys of Chenggong Supermarket must be of high quality. That is because if the trolley is not easy to push, smooth and light, it will definitely affect the amount of shopping. Just because the trolley is so comfortable, I was already full before I knew it.

So, if you have strong legs but weak self-control, you might as well go around empty-handed first, and then make a selection if you really need it; if you don’t want to go twice, and you don’t have a specific bulk purchase plan, you might as well just carry shopping. If you take your child to the supermarket, you should be even more careful. It is more difficult to control the child's greed. You might as well set a principle in advance and only let him choose the same thing, or within a certain price, so as to cultivate his ability of choice and self-discipline.

Five tips for saving money: Don’t fight an unprepared battle.

The preparation work of a shopping master is similar to the preparation of a surgeon for heart surgery. All brain cells need to be gathered together to open an enlarged standing committee. The agenda of the standing committee includes:

Learn about a certain person through an online supermarket Check the lowest market prices of products; compare the advertising leaflets of various supermarkets, and choose the supermarket that is best at different products; do not swipe your card when going to the supermarket to avoid spending money and not feel distressed; make a budget and only bring the corresponding cash to avoid being fished by the supermarket, etc. In short It is necessary to use more roundabout tactics and develop a set of good skills to avoid the real situation and use the weak, and retreat when the enemy advances.

Top six tips to save money and protect your own rights. This may sound like it has nothing to do with money-saving tips, but in practice, if you don’t want to save money, the money will automatically double back into your pocket.

When I was working in a supermarket, the supermarket had to deal with customer claims every day, including expired products, products that were short of weight, labels that did not match, hair strands mixed in, quality issues, and so on. same. Japanese supermarkets are so diligent and cautious, but they still make unintentional mistakes and lose money to customers every day. However, in domestic supermarkets, there are more intentional and even malicious cases, but there are very few customer claims. Many people find it troublesome or embarrassed, and think that fussing over everything makes people look poor and stingy.

I originally took it for granted that it would be easy and profitable to open a supermarket in a wealthy area. Later, a classmate who opened a supermarket told me that I was wrong. No one would bother me about a supermarket opened in a civilian area. It is easy and profitable for people to find trouble. In supermarkets in wealthy areas, those with deep pockets are often very picky and confident and cannot be fooled casually, so they have to be very careful and wait carefully. The products must be good and there should be no mistakes.

It can be seen that supermarkets cannot succeed without fighting. I actively encourage everyone to seek compensation from supermarkets for counterfeit and shoddy products. You cheated and abducted me, pay for it! Damage to consumer rights, compensation! Supermarkets impose a "10 penalty for stealing" on consumers and "delivery to the public security organs." Why don't consumers demand that supermarkets "fine them 10 for stealing" and "deliver to the Consumers Association and the Court of Public Opinion"?

If I continue talking, I will become an angry young man. In fact, I don’t have any bitterness or hatred towards supermarkets. I like supermarkets to death. I only hope that taciturn consumers can fight for themselves and fight for their rights. Being compensated when infringed makes supermarkets do better and better. Therefore, in order for supermarkets to do better and better, each of us consumers should have the same spirit as landlords in the old society forced debts from tenants.

The sixth law, the iron rule restraint method, can be regarded as a continuation of the money-saving trick method. The so-called iron rules are to formulate several self-restraints that you must implement based on your own characteristics.

First, when purchasing ingredients, buy as few highly processed products as possible. I think this is the most important thing.

Because modern housewives are too lazy and have not fulfilled their due responsibilities for the health and happiness of family members, especially the next generation. Saying this will offend many people, but I am very sad to see those fashionable modern mothers in the supermarket who are keen to buy convenient dishes that can be served with a little processing. Some only require a few turns in the microwave, and some are easier to buy ready-made cooked food from the supermarket. They would rather buy a variety of juice drinks than buy fresh fruits to squeeze their own juice; they would rather buy frozen dumplings than chop meat and bake dumplings with their children; they would rather buy vitamins and health supplements than change their tricks to make them. Children eat vegetables; those who are willing to pick up a kitchen knife and dip it in the smell of fish to cook fresh fish dishes for their family are even rarer.

If modern housewives don’t have supermarkets, it’s like Chinese high school students don’t have college entrance examinations, and they will lose their spiritual support. It is true that the highly processed products in supermarkets do bring great convenience to our lives, but the provision of these conveniences is high value-added. In other words, they are the least economical and least cost-effective.

It is not just a matter of money. You must know that with every processing step, a large amount of nutrients in the food itself are lost, and what you get after spending a lot of money is the residue.

What’s more serious is that in food processing, it is impossible not to add various pigments, preservatives, preservatives, emulsifiers, thickeners, ph adjusters and other chemical agents, and it is impossible to let Tom do it. Possible tasks.

I am engaged in this industry myself, and I am not so extreme as to think that all food additives are scourges. However, we must be clearly aware that there are too many food additives that have long been banned in advanced developed countries, but are still allowed to be used in our country, such as cyclamate, flour whitening agents, etc.; there are too many food additives that the medical community has begun to question Due to its safety, it will be banned in the near future, such as sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, etc.; there are also more food additives that are explicitly prohibited by the state, but the manufacturers still use "unspoken rules" for everyone to use them, such as Sudan Red, clenbuterol, etc.; there will be more food additives emerging in an endless stream, and they reproduce faster than cockroaches.

If you are a "lustful person" like me, the merchants will add all kinds of pigments to you; if you are "caring for fragrance" like me, the merchants will add all kinds of flavors to you; you and I Just like "trying to taste new things", the merchants will add all kinds of preservatives and preservatives to you.

So we have a cancer village, and we have so many girls who start menstruating at the age of eight or nine. While denouncing environmental factors, I would also like to know what the mothers of those super-precocious girls fed them since they were young?

Okay, I don’t want to make it too heavy. Let’s change this irony to make it easier to remember: Please remember, if you are still keen on ultra-processed food every day, it is equivalent to giving your children only food every day. Eating instant noodles is tantamount to putting your family under the control of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. China is in dire straits every day.

Rule 2: Don’t go to the supermarket when you’re hungry. There is no doubt that hunger affects one's judgment.

I found that when I am hungry, I feel like I want to buy everything in the supermarket and everything is delicious. When I see any exquisite food, my eyes light up. It is like reuniting with a long-lost relative. The result is it goes without saying. If I really can't avoid the period of hunger, I will eat two pieces of chocolate first to prevent my blood sugar from getting too low and causing me to go crazy shopping.

Three iron rules, take away one. This is my personal experience. When I go to the supermarket and check out, I will take out a dispensable item from the shopping cart. This is called the "last elimination method". Facts often prove that taking away that one is a very wise decision.

Rule 4: Don’t steal anything at the checkout. We all have this habit. When we are waiting in line to check out, we are bored. When we see the cute little items next to them, we often grab them and put them in the shopping cart. We feel proud that we are very efficient in our time.

At this time, you have fallen into the trap of the supermarket. These small candy magazine items are the high profits of the supermarket. Supermarkets know that people's general psychology is that they are not careful about prices when they are waiting and bored.

Rule 5: Check the details on the spot. All people with low education are very superstitious about black words written on white paper. The modern upgraded version is that they are even more superstitious about computers. Many people are so convinced by the supermarket scanning settlement system that they throw away their shopping receipts as soon as they leave the store.

In fact, supermarket checkout errors occur every day, including: temporary price reduction products that are too late to modify the computer unit price; repeated pricing of buy one, get one free; barcodes are too pretentious; computer programs cannot keep up with limited-time special offers; scanning The instrument does not sound, causing a second scan; etc.

Iron rule six, never buy if you are unsure. If you have any hesitation or dilemma about a certain product, you should resolutely return it. Everyone should have learned this lesson. The probability of regretting after buying is much higher than regretting not buying.

Supermarkets will always be wonderful because there is one less string in our minds. That's all for Lala Zaza, I hope you don't read it all quickly and then forget it all even more quickly.

Finally, let me make it clear that the driving school instructor explains various types of traffic accidents to you, not to scare you into not driving. In the same way, what I have said is not to make you hate supermarkets. On the contrary, it is to make you fall in love with supermarkets, like supermarkets more, and make better use of supermarkets. Some people don't like the word "use". In fact, in life, we are all in a relationship between using and being used. Being able to be used, being used frequently, means you are valuable. For example, if you think that my little piece of writing is still of some use, then my merits will be complete. At the same time, you can use it as an interactive topic, share your experiences and let me learn from you, and your value will be fulfilled in my merits.

Come on, tell me about the fleeting inspirations that burst out from your reading, and let’s interact together!
