Not making a shopping list: One
of the most common mistakes people make when shopping in a supermarket
is not making a list beforehand. This can lead to buying unnecessary
items, forgetting essential items, and overspending.

Shopping on an empty stomach: Shopping
when hungry can be a recipe for disaster as you are more likely to buy
unhealthy snacks and impulse items you wouldn't usually purchase.

Not comparing prices: Another
common mistake is not comparing prices between brands and stores. You
could be taking advantage of better deals and discounts.

Falling for marketing tactics:
Supermarkets use various marketing tactics to entice customers into
buying more, such as placing high-profit items at eye level or offering
"the buy one, and get one free" deals on products you don't need. Being
aware of these tactics can help you make more informed purchasing
decisions.

Not checking the expiration dates: Always
check the expiration dates of the items you buy, especially perishable
goods like dairy, meat, and produce. Buying expired products can not
only be wasteful but can also pose health risks.
