Eyes down for a bargain

August 14, 2008 By Jim

 

Before taking off to the grocery this week, read on.  Most, if not all, grocery/shops put the cheaper options at the bottom of the shelf.  The more expensive ones, or the ones where the most mark-up is, is at eye-level… within your quick notice and easy access.  Manufacturers invest on these prime eye-level spots because they know a lot of people do not look down for a bargain.  Notice that the big names have blocked in those prime spots the whole year thru.

The percentage difference may not be that noticable, but a 20 cents from a product to another 20 cents there… and a 30 cent difference does sure make it up close to a dollar.  You’d be surprised at the money you save.  Say by looking down you save about 2-3 dollars a week, multiply that by 52 and that’s a hefty US$150/year.  Not bad at all.

It is wise to know all these little saving areas available to you everyday.  By practicing frugality in these small areas you are making a great savings habit.  Try it sometime, dare to look down.
