Tricks of a supermarket
Nowadays supermarkets are everywhere, you can see them even in smaller
towns – let alone big cities. At first supermarkets look so inviting and convenient – just
imagine – you can buy practically everything what is necessary to run your household in
just one shop.
Moreover, supermarkets seem to have discounts and special offers all the time
so it’s a nice way to save some money as well. But if you give it a second thought, you
will definitely see that supermarkets actually make you buy much more than you have
initially planned on. Funnily, you don’t think if you really need what’s on special offer – it
looks such a bargain!
Everything in a supermarket – the music, the smells, the arrangement of goods
– just make you spend your money so write a shopping list before entering a
supermarket and stick to it.
