Wrong queue
This seems to happen to everyone: getting in the wrong queue at checkout. All of the other queues seem to go a lot faster than yours and of course something goes wrong with the customer right in front of you. You can get angry or frustrated about this, but that’s not exactly going to help you. The solution? Very simple: just focus on something else. It might seem like you’re always in the longest queue, but this is rarely actually the case. Focus on something else and you’ll be much more relaxed.
No grocery list
Another bad habit lots of people have in the supermarket: going in without a grocery list. This can cause a lot of irritation, because you’re often coming home without that important product you really needed to get. A handy option is to make a list in your phone beforehand. Along with the grocery list, don’t forget to take a sturdy shopping bag. Not only will this save you money since you don’t need to buy another plastic bag every time, you’re also helping the environment. Win-win!
Shopping on an empty stomach
It happens to the best of us: going grocery shopping on an empty, grumbling stomach. This isn’t very good for your mood and you often end up buying a ridiculous amount of snacks because you’re so hungry. Besides this, supermarkets also make use of a sneaky marketing trick: they only have big shopping baskets available. Another reason for you to fill it up with tons of yummy products you don’t need. You might opt for taking your own, smaller, basket with you from home. We dare to bet you’ll suddenly buy a lot less!
