Why will we buy some unnecessary things when we go to the supermarket?
When we go into a supermarket, we don't know we are actually not in control of ourselves about the way we shop. The signs on the way decide 11 we experience the store. Most stores have only one way in and out, so they are 12 us to pass through every part. Fresh fruit will be placed near the door. Their bright colors and sweet smells make the store 13 friendly and welcoming. Everything is specially designed, including the passages, every corner, the shelves, and even the music. All of this can make us spend 14 time inside.
Rice and cooking oil are usually put at the 15 of the store. So we have to go 16 the passages to get what we want. Popular snacks are placed at eye level, while cheaper things are placed on 17 shelves. Music plays a big role too. Studies show that soft music makes us shop more slowly. We can't go out of the store until we arrive at the 18 area.
Want to 19 buying more than you need? First, at the start of shopping, make a list and 20 to it. Second, don't shop when you're hungry. That's when everything in the store looks delicious! Finally, try to limit how often you go — fewer trips mean fewer chances to pick up unnecessary things.
