問題詳情
Passage 1 Supermarket retailers have strategies to make sure that your visit for a loaf of bread turns into $200 worth of groceries. Tosave 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, forexample, individual peppers are almost always cheaper than those in the multi-packs and loose avocados are usually cheaperthan the ones grouped in mesh bags. Second, insiders will attest to the fact that there’s very little difference in the deli sectionbetween what’s been pre-packaged and what is sliced fresh. A lot of times, it’s the exact same product. But you’re paying moreper 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 gooddeal – that’s only 25% off each. Instead, wait – almost everything is reduced to 50% at some point. Moreover, don’t buysomething in bulk just because it’s on sale. The ten-for-$10 promotion is one of the most misleading. This is what stores do toget volume out the door – some have even raised the unit price to do so. Always check the unit price first. And last, don’t assumethat products displayed at the end of an aisle are automatically good deals. Often, they are not. The end areas are usually rentedby companies trying to promote products, which may not be bargains at all.
