I was employed by two very large manufacturing companies over the years. I have worked with grocery chain planners and had some input on shelf layout. Everything is calculated to pull you into the store and keep you there as long as possible. <br /><br />Millions are spent on market research each year so stores can keep up on the latest trends. The favorite one recently is that store card that gives you the best deals, it tracks every item you purchase and turns your spending habits into statistics that can be used for future store remodels. I just saw an app you can install on your phone that will do it even better. <br /><br />Happy Shopping!SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-27865634239461571332012-06-03T14:38:38.670-04:002012-06-03T14:38:38.670-04:00GREAT shopping tips, each and every one of them.

I was paying big bucks for dog food that was only 346 calories per cup. Now I'm paying the same, but this food has 440 calories per cup! More for the money! I've love learning and saving money!<br />Have a wonderful Sunday!<br />Love,<br />MarieMarie https://www.blogger.com/profile/09889949311329427053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-6200131321057485102012-06-03T02:17:12.525-04:002012-06-03T02:17:12.525-04:00I'd never heard about the supermarket tricks b...I'd never heard about the supermarket tricks before but this is a bit of an eye-opener!<br /><br />Some wonderful facts and tips Sandie!

I showed her the unit price and we purchased the smaller size item because it was the best according to the unit price. Going to look at the Hungry Girl site now!
