Navigating the Supermarket

by Karen on January 9, 2009

Most supermarkets are set up in a similar way.  Perhaps there is a method to their madness, to try to make us buy more or to make it easier for them or something.

Basically, the perishable items are around the perimeter of the store.  Produce, Dairy, and the butcher blocks are all around the edges.  The healthiest foods, meaning whole, less processed, and often less expensive foods are there.

Skip to the middle.  There you will find the canned goods, boxed goods, and processed foods including cookies, candies, potato chips, beverages and more.  Usually these are closer to the produce side of the store.

Move on over and you will find the paper products, cleaning products and beauty products.

Some stores have their frozen section in the middle, while others have it on the far side opposite the produce aisle.

So the best plan is to shop the perimeters for all the perishables first and then move on to the inside of the store.

And don’t forget your coupons.

Because it all adds up!
