Most supermarket use special traps that help them earn more money. The problem is that these traps exist for you. Once you get into one of them, your wallet gets slimmer.

Be smarter and learn a few things that will help you avoid the most common tricks all sellers use.

Sellers Turn on Relaxing Music

Soothing tunes that you usually hear at supermarkets do wonders. You feel relaxed hence happier. Slow music makes you slow, too. You tend to stop at the shelves more often. Also, you pay greater attention to the items you do not really need.

Solution: Take your own device and use your headphones. Listen to music and songs that have a fast tempo. The beat will stimulate you and you will move through the aisles not as slow as you would if your tunes were relaxing.

Sellers Use Seductive Aromas

It’s another common trick sellers use to make you buy their stuff. Grocery stores smell fresh-baked products and the scent you can smell is used intentionally. Their goal is to make it hard for shoppers to resist purchasing more food.

Solution: Take mints and pop one if you think you feel hungry. The fresh flavor will block other scents.
