Supermarket retailers have strategies to make sure that your visit for a loaf of bread turns into $200 worth of groceries. To save money and beat supermarkets at their own game, learn some insider tips provided by industry analysts and store employees. The first shopping secret is not to think that you’re getting a better deal when you buy in bulk. In the produce department, for example, individual peppers are almost always cheaper than those in the multi-packs and loose avocados are usually cheaper than the ones grouped in mesh bags. Second, insiders will attest to the fact that there’s very little difference in the deli section between what’s been pre-packaged and what is sliced fresh. A lot of times, it’s the exact same product. But you’re paying more per kilo just to have it sliced for you. Third, in a supermarket, the “buy one, get the second one 50% off” discount is not a good deal – that’s only 25% off each. Instead, wait – almost everything is reduced to 50% at some point. Moreover, don’t buy something in bulk just because it’s on sale. The ten-for-$10 promotion is one of the most misleading. This is what stores do to get volume out the door – some have even raised the unit price to do so. Always check the unit price first. And last, don’t assume that products displayed at the end of an aisle are automatically good deals. Often, they are not. The end areas are usually rented by companies trying to promote products, which may not be bargains at all.
