Beware the ends of the aisles. That's primo real estate, a marketing tactic. Buy only what you really need. If you need milk and bread, avoid the cookies and don't linger at the ice cream. Don't buy three peppers in a package if you only want one.
Check dates on perishable items.
Dates usually are stamped with a Best Before date. The item doesn't automatically rot the day after that date. Don't even look at the junk around the checkout counter. We welcome your comments .
