10 Grocery Store Tricks EVERYONE Falls For (A Cheapskate Explains)

If the cart keeps filling itself before you ever reach the milk: certifiedcheapskatebook.com My book walks the whole store with you, with the "who decided this?" test and a NEXT TRIP box at the end of every chapter, so the call gets made before the aisle makes it for you. 455 pages, 86 chapters, every store fact sourced. $39 early-bird, 7-day refund. I'm Thad, the certified cheapskate. My wife gave me the title in our first year of marriage. I've been earning it ever since. Everyone thinks saving money at the grocery store means clipping coupons or doing without. It doesn't. Stores don't trick you with lies, they trick you with decisions you didn't know you were making, and a cheapskate is simply someone who decides before the store does. I go through ten of those decisions here, from the milk at the back of the store to the candy at the register, with one thing to check on your next trip for each. The last one comes with a story about my mother, a pencil, and a car I shouldn't have waited in. And I'll give the store its due: a loss leader really is a good deal if it's the only thing you buy. Buy the chicken. When you've tried it, leave one word in the comments: saved. And tell me which of these ten got you most recently.
