Sneaky Tricks Grocery Stores Use to TRICK You!

How Grocery Stores Trick You into Spending More Money

Grocery stores and supermarkets have razor-thin margins, and so they have every incentive to try to trick you into spending more money. If they could get you to spend just $10 more every time you went to the store, that would be hundreds of millions of dollars more profit every year.

But how do grocery stores get you to spend more? Well, they use everything from visual warfare, to strategic pricing, to where they place items on shelves to subconsciously trick you into spending more money.

But after this video, maybe you'll be better equipped to fight their dirty tricks.

What do you think of Grocery Stores sneaky tactics? Be sure to let us know down in the comments section (or if you have any video ideas)!

As a Walmart employee I can confirm that this is actually very accurate. In fact the items at the cash register are called impulse merchandise

I am writing this comment and have not seen the video yet, but I work in one of those evil grocery stores you talk about. Simple rule to avoid any tricks, have a complete list before you enter the store, buy only what is on the list, take said items to register, pay for all of them, leave the store. Now you have not been mind controlled in anyway.

It’s true, when I go in for just like 4 or 5 things, I end up taking a tour of the entire store to get them all

WHAT ABOUT shrink-flation, you know same product, jacked up price and yet the BOX (size) is smaller. Like, customers surely would not notice their getting LESS product for a higher price. Total scam

Walmart tracks your spending offline if you have a Walmart account online on their website! They don't even tell you.

I worked at a grocery store. You are buying packaging. We would open a big container of something and scoop it in to smaller containers. People would think we made it from scratch. The stuff in the hot case has been there for hours. Also beware of multiples. If it's 2 for $6 you may have to buy two. You may not get the reduced price on a single (Hello, Superstore). Also many have replaced the 'Buy One Get One" with "Buy Two Get One" so instead of have a 50% saving buying two, you get a 33% saving buying 3 and you are actually spending more.

"Razor thin profit margins." Oh geeze. That's a lie.
