Real World Health and Fitness

In this episode we're talking about all the sneaky tricks the supermarkets use to make us spend more! By spending more it means we're eating more as well. From the way the supermarket it laid out to the sales tactics they use, we're going to cover it all! SNEAKY TRICKS • When you walk in- what do you smell-Baked goods, chickens and flowers near the front door. It all puts you in a good mood to shop (And buy more!) • Shopping trolley- They keep getting bigger and bigger! • Fruit and produce- Lots of color puts you in a good mood. These healthy options are at the front of the store so you pick them first which helps you justify buying junk later. • Essentials like milk are at the back to make you walk past everything • Sales deals have changed- Reduced items turn in to ‘Buy 2 for $X.XX’. You end up buying more food and eating more because of this. • Complementing promo items- Chips and salsa • Items at eye level tend to have the biggest profit margin and usually the most expensive.
