Paula has an opinion about supermarket shopping that I believe so many of us have…the placement of the items.
For me I wonder why marketing has so much control over the supermarket. Today, walking in I am inundated by baked goods. Tons of brownies, cookies, cakes, donuts, you name it, they had it. Then the fresh fruit and veggies are all tucked in the back corner of the store. Obviously, this is to sell the junk food…it helps keep the world chunky. No wonder no one wants to bring kids into the market anymore.
So then, almost every end-cap is a junk food or candy product. I am trying to lose weight. How am I supposed to shop without having bad cravings for everything in sight that is not good for me? It is almost like staying healthy is way too much work. It is definitely too expensive. Does anyone win?

My son works in a grocery and there is a science behind the layout of the store and the placement of the products – nothing is random!!

I was told once to only shop the end caps. The only reason to go down the aisles is to buy stuff you don’t need. I don’t know if I necessarily agree.

Only the one’s at the top of the ‘food chain’ who are raking more money than they will ever be able to use in their lifetimes. 😦
