Size matters

Here’s something to think about the next time you go shopping. Have you ever noticed
how many trolleys are available when you go to the supermarket? In my
experience, it seems like hundreds! But how about the number of hand
baskets? Invariably I struggle to find even one, especially when I only need a
few items. Why might this be the case? Well it seems to be a tactic used to
encourage us to buy more. If you are
walking around with an empty trolley, you are more tempted to fill it, so if you a
planning on only doing a quick shop, always try to find a basket. It will be lighter,
easier to use and is sure to save you money!

QUESTIONS:

1. What can you find in large numbers at a supermarket?


2. Why can this be a problem?
3. How can you avoid spending more than you planned?
1. Why is it a good idea to use a basket instead of a trolley?
