Do you notice how you often spend more than you planned at the supermarket? Well, there are actually tricks（花招）supermarkets use to make you do that. Let's take a look at these tricks.
★Stores put SALE signs in the windows. This means prices are lower for a short time. So some people will decide to go in, even if they don't need anything.
★Supermarkets also put large carts at the entrance（入口）. The bigger the cart, the more things shoppers can put in it!
★ Near the entrance, there are usually fruits, vegetables, bread and cakes. Both the pretty colours and the wonderful smells make people feel happy. Happy people may spend more money.
★Shops want to sell expensive foods. So those foods are easier to find among the different ones. Cheaper foods are placed on high or low shelves(架子), so shoppers won't pick them easily.
★Lastly, supermarkets put candy and magazines at the front where people pay. They know people have to look at these things as they wait in line. Maybe they'll buy some.
Next time you go shopping, keep these tricks in mind and shop smarter. Don't let the supermarket fool you into spending more than you need to!
