Top 15 ways stores make you spend more
On the heels of quitting shopping altogether, here’s a few ways to save some money if you get hornswaggled into showing up at the S-mart. And in Smallist fashion, here’s my abridged list:
- The more important the item, the farther away from the entrance.
- Roomy, plentiful, enticing shopping carts.
- Impulse items near checkouts. (Gum wouldn’t exist without this rule. Think about it, it’s a piece of sweetened rubber.)
- Tags that look like they say “on sale” but really say something like “everyday low price” or “not not not on sale!”

Quite interesting stuff here, I wasn’t aware of many from this list.
