Awwww... I was just thinking about this!! Very common mistake people make... They either shop on their way home from work, or just before lunch or dinner. I've gotten more food at a grocery store just because I was hungry then if I'd just grabbed a sandwich before heading out. Lesson learned.
Next time at the store then remember the small trolley, headphones, nose peg, stilts ,avoidance of free samples and milk. Seriously writing a shopping list and sticking to it is best.
Great video guys, extremely well-edited, and Simon, you're an awesome narrator! All the people at Toptenz I interacted with to get this collaboration up were extremely nice and helpful. Thank you for helping a smaller channel get some exposure, I loved working with you guys! :D
I am a fan of the more ripened bananas, it has to have spots because it ferments more so it's sweeter. And if it goes all brown, i make banana bread (with reeses peanut butter chips in the baking aisle)
No one is better at getting you to see every aisle than ALDI. They literally make you walk through a predetermined maze path to get to the check out lanes lol. I still prefer them though!
A trick in pubs is to offer a tab because you don't see how much your spending. One trick I use is " would you like a single or double?" This works very effectively with Americans. In restaurants don't ask for recommendations because your likely going to get what they want to get rid if. The easiest thing to make or the meal that's going to make the most money.
One of the main ways grocery stores find out what we're buying is through the "rewards cards". Being able to match sales to other demographics is immensely valuable.
While in downtown Chicago one day I did a study with one of these mock grocery stores. It recorded my eye movements with these glasses and I had to pick a grocery list of items and discuss why I picked what items. It was one of the coolest studies I've ever done!
Just wanted to say thank you for helping my family and I find our way to "You Suck at Cooking". We love that channel. The macaroni and cheese video is one big epic win.
Saw people buying bottled water in Auckland New Zealand. Auckland tap water is excellent. Often the bottled water is tap water. People must like spending I suppose. As a Scotsman I hate spending. I will never ever buy bottled water in NZ. Flint Michigan? I'll bring my own!
Yup. I work in a grocery store. I've learned to turn on my mental blinders and not buy into the marketing ploys. Though, I will say that our store's music runs a variety of music with both upbeat and slow songs playing at all hours. And yes, I shop using the smaller cart. I'm short so when I use the regular cart I just feel that much smaller
I have worked in retail for 27 years. I am working in a grocery store now. I new a lot of these tricks. Where I work the horseradish in the cheese cooler. Not with the sausages(hot dogs) and roast beef.
The changes of music is new to me. I knew they played it to get you to shop more but did not know the way they use it. The rest I already knew about... just knowing these things can help you spend less.
My dad was a grocer for over 30 years, I know most of these tricks and more( 2 for $1 vs 10 for $5). I had to teach my kids and my husband to read labels and sku tags so they could make more intelligent purchases.
That is definitely isn't the preference of growers or supermarket, it's just a fact that not all seasons of the year are equal for banana growing. As the growers get better at artificially controlling the climate their banana trees are in, you should see less variation in color.
Phosgene gas if my memory is correct ripens bananas! Some bananas are boiled and eaten green. Different variety the majority of all bananas are cooked apparently!
@@CoffeeBreaks It's nothing to do with growers. All bananas are green, and they turn yellow as they go bad. We happen to like them that way is all. But most of the people living where they grow prefer to have them green, and wonder why we eat rotten bananas.
@@CoffeeBreaks Bananas do not grow on trees. Bananas are solid green when picked. Buy a few yellow ones AND a few green ones so that the green ones will be ripe when you've finished the other ones. Where most of our bananas are grown, they're grown year-round.
That fact about bananas, although undeniably true, is just sad. The best way to buy bananas, is to get them green, and let them ripen at home. They actually taste best just after perfect ripeness, I've found. Labelling on home grown vegetables in the UK will now tell you the variety of the food, the address of the farm it came from, the farmer's name, when it was harvested, and, in some cases, even which field (with a geo-tag) it was harvested from.
Kami Amaya It depends on where you live. They sell beer and wine in grocery stores in Florida but not liquor. I was surprised to see liquor for sell in convenience stores when I went to Hawaii since they only sell beer and wine here.
Apparently, alcohol laws in good ol' Maryland vary by county, with the majority of the counties unable to sell alcohol in grocery stores. That explains why I've never seen alcohol in a grocery store before lol Plenty of liquor stores around tho.
Yup. Pennsylvania and Oregon both have archaic alcohol laws, so do several states. But when I first moved to California it was weird seeing alcohol in grocery stores and convenient stores.
Milk isn't in the far corner of UK stores like Tesco and Sainsbury's. It's with the dairy about one quarter of the way around. We don't have those terrible misters either. It might look fresh but covering veg with water is a great way of causing it to rot quicker. Example, see how fast those bags of washed lettuce leaves last compared to an unwashed lettuce you prepare yourself.
Here in Australia, the trend of placing essential items at all corners of the store is actually being phased out, at least in my state. A number of stores I go to have had refurbishments (or refits) in recent years, and almost all of them, have reorganized things so bread, milk and cereal are all close together. Maybe supermarkets know that people know this and are a bit cheesed off, so they want to make things more convenient. Another thing they've been doing, is replacing some of the full sized trolleys with much smaller ones for small shopping trips, again a convenience thing. I could be totally wrong on all of this though. This is just what I've noticed personally.
P.S. Aldi (a German supermarket chain) is a huge exception to this. Every one of their stores are *identically* laid out. They are even purpose built from the ground up with the same design to facilitate this layout. But Aldi does things differently to most supermarkets.
Dude, all bananas are green when they're fresh. They turn progressive shades of yellow as they spoil. We happen to like them that way, but I know a lot of people from the Caribbean who prefer them green. I'm told boiled bananas are awesome, and my kids always liked them fried. I really prefer plantains, which are yellow when they're fresh, and are native to Florida.
Just a counterpoint- best grocery store in America according to Consumer Reports is Wegmans and at least at the local stores they buck a bunch of these.
Are you an American channel? I'm from the uk and the bread and bakery is always right in the furthest corner. And milk nearer the front for ease, and people tend to pick that and frozen good up last. Just makes sense but as you it makes you do an entire lap of the shop. They also switch around the non-essentials in between around fairly often so sometimes you even have to go back and forth. I remember in college when I was studying psychology there is a shit load behind the layout of shops.
Tom Parham The psychology behing store layout differs from place to place and over time. My local supermarket is four years old but was fully reorganised this year, with only the produce and freezers remaining in place.
TopTenz is great, thank you. Coffee Break however have a negative feature on School of Life, which is another site I like so I'm afraid I won't pursue Coffee Break, still, TopTenz is my most visited site.
The music in stores generally irritates me and makes it harder to concentrate, so I need ear buds in some stores. Target plays no music at all and they get way too much of my money because I don't feel like I have to hurry out or use my own music to tune out theirs. And a couple of times I've walked out of a store because they played a song I just hated too much to stay. You do gradually outgrow some of these tricks, mind you, as you get older. Some are pretty effective because yes, you do tend to pick things up that are near other things or that you pass by on the way to the milk. And they like to scatter the same thing in different places which pisses me off. But if you stick to a list it's a big help, and even though the chicken smells good or the bananas are buttercup yellow, once you've eaten the tasteless chicken or and unripe yellow banana, you stop believing your senses. The organic bananas seem to taste more ripe when they're a little green than the other bananas when they're yellow anyway.
Hi. Not sure if this is the place to request a video but would you make one detailing reasons why beauty can be a curse as week as a gift? Such as in human trafficking or in looks overshadowing other achievements. Thanks!
Always enjoy ur videos! Although, a little something I would like to mention. the image clip being used between 2:13~25 is a photo taken from a Beer (Cass Red) PR stand in Korea. I'm guessing kids in the shot must be an honest mistake/coincident, but some might find it offensive. I have noticed certain clips u use for your video are foreign origin, but even if some of them appear relevant, I notice my eyebrow going up every now and then.
I wish shopping carts were bigger. I only go grocery shopping once once a month, unless I need something specific. So, I almost never have enough room in the cart to comfortably fit a whole month's worth of food.
The last one where we sprinkle our fresh rack with water doesn’t give you the impression of freshness. We have to water our vegetables and herbs and greens every thirty minutes to give them their best color and to keep them alive longer. Otherwise, we would have to throw them away. Btw you missed the “freshest items all the way in the back of the line of items or at the bottom of the fruit”.
tricks when going shopping: bring a list buy only what is on the list shop only when full bring a calculator (app) always schedule much more time then you need
If I go shopping for food, I always have a meal before I go out - that way, anything the shop does to make you feel hungry has no effect. I also generally go round the shop in the opposite direction, as goods they want you to buy rather than those you need are usually on the right hand side. I never try samples of anything, and generally (although money isn't a problem) get items from high up or low down. I seldom buy fruit and vegetables from a big store, as I have a couple of very good greengrocers locally. Likewise, meat - there is a very good butcher within walking distance of home. I never listen to instore music because (a) it is usually utter dreck, and (b) the shop is so large, and acoustically poor, the music is rendered distorted beyond caring, and it's easy to filter out. Oh, and always use a small trolley, and never go shopping with children.
People make suggestions on how not to over-buy at a grocery store, like eating first, taking a list and sticking to it, etc. Might I suggest another trick? DEVELOP SOME SELF-CONTROL. Make wise choices based on mature decision-making ability. That way, you can BE yourself instead of having to try to TRICK yourself.
I think retail in the USA must be different to Aus, sure we do some similar things but having worked retail I understand there's no tricks involved, mostly because we seem to have stricter laws about what shops can and can't do here.
hah! #10 is horrible! i work at a grocery store. worst thing is people who grab the smaller cart and then OVER FILL it. if we were using oversized carts, why also have the small ones? #7 makes me mad, as i stock the shelves at night and i hate that crap. #6 is partially true, but its not always about markup. the companies (kraft, betty crocker, etc) pay a lot of money to be at eye level.
Indeed, had to search that immediately, "Hetch Hetchy is the name of a valley, a reservoir and a water system in California in the United States" , kind of disappointed with the result lol.
None of this crapola has ever worked on me. I bring a list and buy what I need. And who the hell feels a "need" to fill a grocery cart? What a bunch of malarkey!
But it's not necessarily the best deal if I look at the top or bottom shelves, it's just the items the store makes the least profit from. I could be getting less item per dollar still. Just the store made less money from me buying it. I wouldn't define best deal as what the store makes the least profit from. Sure it's sometimes true, but not always.
Never go shopping without eating first. When you are hungry, you'll buy more products.
Awwww... I was just thinking about this!! Very common mistake people make... They either shop on their way home from work, or just before lunch or dinner. I've gotten more food at a grocery store just because I was hungry then if I'd just grabbed a sandwich before heading out. Lesson learned.
i heard a study that said it wasn't so much that you buy more, but you buy WORSE. more junk food. but i dont know for sure.
ESUSAMEX lol hahah
"From the carts to the smells ,to the music to the shelves" - That's some solid writing there.
Sick verse! I was seriously expecting him to present the video through rapping! 😂
Next time at the store then remember the small trolley, headphones, nose peg, stilts ,avoidance of free samples and milk. Seriously writing a shopping list and sticking to it is best.
Free sample might be good products just don't buy it if it's over price you might discover foods you otherwise would not know anything about.
Or just have so many dietary restrictions that unplanned eating of any kind is dangerous. Go me?
I agree. And don't go on a whim!
Great video guys, extremely well-edited, and Simon, you're an awesome narrator! All the people at Toptenz I interacted with to get this collaboration up were extremely nice and helpful.
Thank you for helping a smaller channel get some exposure, I loved working with you guys! :D
Thank youuu
Huh, didn't expect to find the old CoffeeZilla here
I am a fan of the more ripened bananas, it has to have spots because it ferments more so it's sweeter. And if it goes all brown, i make banana bread (with reeses peanut butter chips in the baking aisle)
No one is better at getting you to see every aisle than ALDI. They literally make you walk through a predetermined maze path to get to the check out lanes lol. I still prefer them though!

NEVER go grocery shopping high
I did that in college. I did figure out what appealed to me the most when I had the munchies.
One of the main ways grocery stores find out what we're buying is through the "rewards cards". Being able to match sales to other demographics is immensely valuable.
That is why, that according to all of my reward cards, I am Ted Nugent.
While in downtown Chicago one day I did a study with one of these mock grocery stores. It recorded my eye movements with these glasses and I had to pick a grocery list of items and discuss why I picked what items. It was one of the coolest studies I've ever done!
I just have a mental shopping list as well as sheer determination and refuse to buy anything that isn't on said mental shopping list
ultimate tip: If you are broke, you won't buy anything you don't need :D Problem solved as a true eastern european.
when you go into your local tesco at 3am and they have some black sabbath running through their speakers! bliss
Before I go shopping, I eat, make a list and still ,I end buying lots of extra stuff so the Grocery always win.
Thank you Simon , nice video informative and presented very well.
I'm 47 seconds into this video and i'm starting to think that these coffee break script writers may actually be Dr. Seuss.
I make a small list on an index card and mostly stick to that. Great video guys !
i can't find a link to the coffee break channel in the description.. and not in the video..
Me neither. Maybe we were too early?
You know your loyal when you're in before they correct the mistakes
Edit: damn, 53 seconds too late
edit: you're needs to be used twice lol
Woah I learned something ! Thank you for the video !
Never go shopping when you're hungry.
I go with a list of what I need. I buy what's on the list. And nothing else. Tough luck grocery stores.
thanks for the tips!
Just wanted to say thank you for helping my family and I find our way to "You Suck at Cooking". We love that channel. The macaroni and cheese video is one big epic win.
I went to school for working in a grocery store, so I can say that this is all true
0:53 I actually work at Cub Foods in Minnesota, totally caught me off guard to see my store logo in your video!
i cant find a link to the coffee break channel in the descriping.. and not in the video..
thanks simon, quality content as always
I wish they wouldn't spray produce with water. It might make it look fresher, but it makes it rot quicker once you get it home. Drives me nuts.
Saw people buying bottled water in Auckland New Zealand. Auckland tap water is excellent. Often the bottled water is tap water. People must like spending I suppose. As a Scotsman I hate spending. I will never ever buy bottled water in NZ. Flint Michigan? I'll bring my own!
I used to have a Scottish university teacher, he would sometimes say "I love free shit!"
Yup. I work in a grocery store. I've learned to turn on my mental blinders and not buy into the marketing ploys. Though, I will say that our store's music runs a variety of music with both upbeat and slow songs playing at all hours.
And yes, I shop using the smaller cart. I'm short so when I use the regular cart I just feel that much smaller
Great Retailing information. Looking forward for more of these
Never go to the market hungry. Eat first and you will buy fewer impulse items.
You guys should consider a UA-cam version of this, how they get noticed and clicked, I dunno. You do the rest, now. Thanks. X
Amazing tips. Gonna use this on my store. :)
I have worked in retail for 27 years. I am working in a grocery store now. I new a lot of these tricks. Where I work the horseradish in the cheese cooler. Not with the sausages(hot dogs) and roast beef.
does coffee break have anything to do with the journal series started by the vocalist of cin in 2014?
The changes of music is new to me. I knew they played it to get you to shop more but did not know the way they use it. The rest I already knew about... just knowing these things can help you spend less.
Where is the link to coffee break
Where's the link to the coffee channel then?
They say don't shop on an empty stomach, but nothing seems appetizing when im full. 😂😂
Like your speed 😊
be careful. some people will bring one type of cart into another store. they think neighbors share supplies. we don't.
I work in a grocery store. Trust me.. they play some real dirty tricks
My dad was a grocer for over 30 years, I know most of these tricks and more( 2 for $1 vs 10 for $5).
I had to teach my kids and my husband to read labels and sku tags so they could make more intelligent purchases.
I'm watching this saying "man they really make us fall for this crap" as I'm eating a banana i picked cause it was more yellow than the others i saw
watch Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story. insightful
All the bananas at the store I go to are always still green.
That is definitely isn't the preference of growers or supermarket, it's just a fact that not all seasons of the year are equal for banana growing. As the growers get better at artificially controlling the climate their banana trees are in, you should see less variation in color.

The music in my local store plays modern pop stuff. It is so awful I try to get out as quickly as possible. Why don
t they just paint the bananas?

Wait, alcohol free samples?! There are grocery stores that sell alcohol?
Kami Amaya It depends on where you live. They sell beer and wine in grocery stores in Florida but not liquor. I was surprised to see liquor for sell in convenience stores when I went to Hawaii since they only sell beer and wine here.
in USA for sure
Apparently, alcohol laws in good ol' Maryland vary by county, with the majority of the counties unable to sell alcohol in grocery stores. That explains why I've never seen alcohol in a grocery store before lol Plenty of liquor stores around tho.
There are but I've never noticed free samples. But I don't drink, so maybe I saw the sign by the table and automatically tuned out.
Yup. Pennsylvania and Oregon both have archaic alcohol laws, so do several states. But when I first moved to California it was weird seeing alcohol in grocery stores and convenient stores.

woolworths cicken, back of the store, the front? veggies and savoury?(donuts/cupcakes.)
I would be a grocery focus group's marketing nightmare and my sister would be it's dream. Muah ha ha.
This video has its own tricks to save money
Just a counterpoint- best grocery store in America according to Consumer Reports is Wegmans and at least at the local stores they buck a bunch of these.
Always eat at least a half hour before shopping and bring a proper shopping list.
Free sample might also lead to a repeat customer of some product they never would have bought otherwise.

so true
I spend about 20x more if I smoke weed before I go shopping. They should give out free bonghits at the door.
The music in stores generally irritates me and makes it harder to concentrate, so I need ear buds in some stores.

Buttercup? I buy my bananas green so they will last longer. 🍌
When Simon said "planogram" I was triggered and flashed back to my Radio Shack days....
tricks when going shopping:
bring a list
buy only what is on the list
shop only when full
bring a calculator (app)
always schedule much more time then you need
The samples work on me.
I dont see samples as much as I used to
If I go shopping for food, I always have a meal before I go out - that way, anything the shop does to make you feel hungry has no effect. I also generally go round the shop in the opposite direction, as goods they want you to buy rather than those you need are usually on the right hand side. I never try samples of anything, and generally (although money isn't a problem) get items from high up or low down. I seldom buy fruit and vegetables from a big store, as I have a couple of very good greengrocers locally. Likewise, meat - there is a very good butcher within walking distance of home. I never listen to instore music because (a) it is usually utter dreck, and (b) the shop is so large, and acoustically poor, the music is rendered distorted beyond caring, and it's easy to filter out. Oh, and always use a small trolley, and never go shopping with children.
Thats funny because we always fill our shopping cart and usually only buy whats on our list
People make suggestions on how not to over-buy at a grocery store, like eating first, taking a list and sticking to it, etc. Might I suggest another trick? DEVELOP SOME SELF-CONTROL. Make wise choices based on mature decision-making ability. That way, you can BE yourself instead of having to try to TRICK yourself.
I dunno tricks like that don't work on me... I might be immune to that level of sorcery due to my anti social personality I get in and get out.
Products placed on end caps aren't necessarily lowest prices just on end cap doesn't mean on sale.
I think retail in the USA must be different to Aus, sure we do some similar things but having worked retail I understand there's no tricks involved, mostly because we seem to have stricter laws about what shops can and can't do here.
Justin Letchford we have tricks here in Australia (I am assuming Aus means Australia), just governed by our laws.
I like my bananas to have a noticeable green tint on them
Stop trying to demonize people that own supermarkets. It's not a sin, it's business.
I have a one track mind while shopping no mater what I get what I’m planning on getting nothing more
Psychology is such a fascinating subject right?
Haha can't trick me if i have no money hahaha.... oh

Coffeezilla did a collab with Simon. Huh.
you forgot exchange item placements every few months so you have to search longer ergo stay longer and shop more.

* Who eats the food inside your cart and while your in the grocery store and without paying for it and paying later*
The question is, who is Hetch Hetchy and why should we restore him/her/it?
Indeed, had to search that immediately, "Hetch Hetchy is the name of a valley, a reservoir and a water system in California in the United States" , kind of disappointed with the result lol.
These seem pretty obvious, my buying habits are dictated by any money available to buy items from a grocery store.
None of this crapola has ever worked on me. I bring a list and buy what I need. And who the hell feels a "need" to fill a grocery cart? What a bunch of malarkey!
Make a list, and stick to it. Problem solved.
have you met people?
I feed a family of 4, and I use the whole cart.
loser
But it's not necessarily the best deal if I look at the top or bottom shelves, it's just the items the store makes the least profit from. I could be getting less item per dollar still. Just the store made less money from me buying it. I wouldn't define best deal as what the store makes the least profit from. Sure it's sometimes true, but not always.
None of this really applies in the big UK supermarkets!
