Pay attention to expiry dates

By moving through the fresh produce sections of supermarkets...

You have all noticed that some items are offered with very deep discounts.

So, with a light heart, you buy two or three times more than expected.

But beware, these fresh produce are priced so low for a good reason.

They will be expired in a very short time.

In order not to forget them in the fridge and have to throw them away, I apply this little trick.

I place them on the edge of the shelves and not at the very bottom.

I also sometimes buy large quantities to freeze then.

Obviously, it doesn't work for yogurts or salad!

Beware of products presented at the top of the gondola!

Also be careful not to get carried away by the madness of shopping after choosing other products at a bargain price .

The stores know that the customer who has just made a good deal will go back to the other departments with a light heart, and spend without counting too much.

Distrust and verification

Taking advantage of promotions on supermarket shelves seems so easy that you quickly fall asleep.

And we get tricked further.

Result:a hefty bill at checkout.

You will often be surprised at the result!
