6. Avoid Eye-level Foods

Supermarkets know how to sell you stuff and nothing you ever see should surprise you. The people in charge know you’re more likely to reach for things at eye-level, so when you find something you need, look around for a bit- especially up and down. You might be surprised by the price differences and you might even find your new favorite brand.

On that note, don’t allow yourself to be tricked by colorful packaging. It’s what’s inside that counts, so be mindful of what you pick off the shelf.
