Brits on average make around 200 plus shopping trips per year and spend over £4,200 on their grocery visits, according to the BBC.
Money saving expert and director of online supermarket Britsuperstore Richard Price has now given his expert advice on all the other ways supermarkets will try to catch you out this Christmas and how to avoid spending more. Limited-time offers "Supermarkets try to create a sense of urgency or impulse buying with frequent use of "limited time only" offers and promotions. Statements like 'while stocks last' or 'limited time only' may make you feel that you are at a loss if you fail to buy it immediately."
Eye-catching displays "Supermarkets are the ultimate masters of visual merchandising. Bright displays and festive decorations, plus strategic product placement, grab your attention and beg you to buy things that you don't need."
