Not Having A Shopping List
Have you ever entered a grocery store thinking you only needed a few items and left with a full cart? We all do it!
Supermarkets have mastered the power of marketing. Seasonal campaigns, attractive promotional prices, delicious samples, interactive cooking classes, checkout sales, and brands located at eye level are all strategies supermarkets use to encourage shoppers to spend more.
And unfortunately for your wallet, it works!
Studies show that shoppers spend more in-store than online when grocery shopping, highlighting the effectiveness of these marketing techniques.
Shopping without a list increases the odds that you’ll buy on impulse. Drafting a list when you’re at home and sticking to it will help you save money, reduce waste, plan your meals better and give you a sense of accomplishment that will make you feel good.
And to make sure you always have your shopping list with you, use apps such as Google Assistant or Smart Shopping List.
