When shopping at the supermarket, there are many shopping tips worth knowing that can help you save money and worry.

1. Generally speaking, whether it is fresh food, frozen food, or packaged food, food with a shorter shelf life is always placed at the front and food with a later shelf life is placed at the back. This is to ensure that the foods with the earliest shelf life can be sold first.

Therefore, when selecting dairy products and other fresh foods, it is best to look for those products that are hidden behind the second, third, or fourth rows.

2. It is better to use a shopping cart than a shopping basket.

Many people believe that using a shopping basket in the store can assist in avoiding overspending problems and that we limit ourselves to buying only what we need.

However, studies have shown that people who choose to shop with a shopping basket are not only more likely to end up spending more money but are also more likely to buy products that are unhealthy.

Here's a very interesting piece of cold knowledge: the discomfort from the pressure on your arm makes people more likely to buy things like candy, cookies, and snacks that give them instant gratification as a way to compensate for themselves.

3. Don't believe the advertising on the package.

By law, drinks and packaged foods in supermarkets must be clearly labeled with the ingredients they contain. Generally, this information will be arranged by specific gravity, from largest to smallest.

This means that the ingredient with the highest content will appear at the top of the list, and so on. Therefore, we recommend that you ignore the marketing on the front of the box and only check the nutritional information on the back. This is where the real content of this product lies.

4. Don't use a credit card.

Studies have found that people who shop with cash not only spend less money on groceries than those who use credit or debit cards, but also usually buy fewer processed foods and choose products that are richer in nutrients.

5. Looking down is a good choice.

If we look closely, we will soon find that the most expensive product items are usually placed at eye level, while cheaper or lesser-known brands are placed higher or lower.

But higher prices do not mean better quality, it just means that the manufacturers of those expensive products can pay higher marketing costs to supermarkets to display their products in better locations and boost sales.

6. Buy only vacuum-packed fish.

Fish and seafood experts advise against buying fish and seafood in supermarkets because the seafood products sold there are usually not very fresh.

If you want to buy fish in the supermarket, then be sure to buy only vacuum-packed.
