Marketing is down to a science; vendors know that most people look for items at eye level. Therefore, items at eye level tend to cost more than items at foot or knee level. It's no accident that candies are placed in the checkout -- parents will more often than not make that impulse candy purchase to quiet their children. Interesting, isn't it? These candies are always within reach of children! QVCs last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ShoppingOnlineNetwork/~3/355717635/">P.S.

Thanks for your comment! Anna - Thanks! And good to know that you allow a link in post a comment in Blogger. Most Blogger sites, it seems that when you post a comment with a link, the comment just disappears. I guess eaten by a spam filter! I like the WordPress method of allowing you to specify how many links you allow in a comment and anything over that, the comment goes to moderation. -Will Valerie - Yes shopping when hungry can be bad both for the waist line and the bottom line!

I have to let you in on a little secret, we have this great Canadian Superstore around the corner, and they have this Blue Menu products that can be easily picked up off the shelf and not to worry that it is not healthy for you. Before we were introduced to Blue Menu, I read carefully all the ingredients to see if they were fooling us, but to our surprise, it was all good. So yeah, healthy store helps, and the prices are good, and since it is around the corner, we walk sometimes, or if we drive, it saves us on gasoline. Anna :) BTW ...just about comment you made on my blog, I allow any links from Post a Comment, you have good stuff here and if you want to mention your great ideas or post links you are more thank welcome. :) Thanks Will always for your great comments back.

My mamma told me about not shopping while hungry and I try to always make sure I don't do it. I do notice that when I DO shop hungry... well, the pocket book does reveal it! Good advice!

The real damage from wanting to finish everything in the fridge comes when you have children, teenagers or others in the house that don't eat as healthy as you want to. I have to be real careful or I find myself finishing things I would never buy for myself. I like chips for lunch with cheese or salsa. I have found many more healthy kinds of chips are now available. Two of my favorites are Sunflower Blue and Sesame Blue chips. I try to limit them, though as we are indeed a nation of corn fed people. The high fructose corn syrup is the worst offending corn product.

We usually try to finish everything in the fridge - don't like to waste food - so sometimes, having some temporarily frozen food in the freezer, and getting some extra food from parents or parents in law, we can go without shopping for two weeks, but we usually wait until no food, and you know what happens next, we shop really really hungry. Lucky us we are on the healthy food program, so we are okay, but like my big mac addiction (doing well so far), my husband love the chips store section, lol.
