Amazing tips. Gonna use this on my store. 🙂

Keano Tsao says:

Stop trying to demonize people that own supermarkets. It's not a sin, it's business.

Random Memes Weekly says:

i prefer hunting and fishing like my ancestors

Hellrage_ says:

6:00 Pudzian esssss

tripjet999 says:

None of this crapola has ever worked on me. I bring a list and buy what I need. And who the hell feels a "need" to fill a grocery cart? What a bunch of malarkey!

Aleksandra Capric says:

Dont talk so fast

Rendor Williams says:

I make a small list on an index card and mostly stick to that. Great video guys !

svetozar markovic says:

terrible voice…!

Mikah John says:

No one is better at getting you to see every aisle than ALDI. They literally make you walk through a predetermined maze path to get to the check out lanes lol. I still prefer them though!

Abdul Khan says:

* Who eats the food inside your cart and while your in the grocery store and without paying for it and paying later*

SonicDBZ1987 says:

I have a one track mind while shopping no mater what I get what I’m planning on getting nothing more

ApplyUrBrain says:

People make suggestions on how not to over-buy at a grocery store, like eating first, taking a list and sticking to it, etc. Might I suggest another trick? DEVELOP SOME SELF-CONTROL. Make wise choices based on mature decision-making ability. That way, you can BE yourself instead of having to try to TRICK yourself.

Hectic Erectic says:

They say don't shop on an empty stomach, but nothing seems appetizing when im full. 😂😂

da bearded_one says:

hah! #10 is horrible! i work at a grocery store. worst thing is people who grab the smaller cart and then OVER FILL it. if we were using oversized carts, why also have the small ones? #7 makes me mad, as i stock the shelves at night and i hate that crap. #6 is partially true, but its not always about markup. the companies (kraft, betty crocker, etc) pay a lot of money to be at eye level.

Maxed Whip says:

I think moving things around is part of their tricks, if you need to go look for it, you will find something else! And knowing where everything is, allows you not to look at anything in between, and even keep your cart further in the middle.
As example, go into a store, with clear instructions to only get milk, you know where it is without looking, and you will be able to get it without buying anything else. But what if you go get juice you like? You will look for it longer and may end up buying something extra this time!
