Eye-level items
Eye-level is buy level. And conveniently enough, the most expensive items are placed at eye level, compared to generic products placed on the bottom shelf, which are cheaper.
Eye-level products receive up to 35% more attention, so it’s no wonder manufacturers pay fees for their products to be placed at eye-level.
Non-food items
When time is not on your side but shopping for food and essential items is still on your to-do list, going to the supermarket sounds like the best option. When it comes to non-food items, it may not be. You might be tempted to buy everything from home furnishings to car oil or even jewelry, but don’t be fooled by smart marketing.
Try: If you’re going to a supermarket, stick to buying food. With regard to non-food items, opt for dollar stores or large department stores where you can find cheaper products.

The only items where an expiration date is important is fresh Dairy. Almost all of the expiration dates on packaged products are BS. Himalayan salt comes tells you how many millions of years it has been in the ground, and an expiration date of 9 months, they dug that up in the nick of time. Bottles of water have expiration dates, is the water going to go bad? If in a plastic bottle it probably wasn’t healthy a minute after being bottle due to chemicals leaching, in a glass bottle you won’t live long enough for it to go bad. Buying staples like motor oil or ATF at a dollar store, can destroy your engine or transmission. Automotive fluids need to match the requirements of the vehicle, not be cheap. RTFM (read the fine manual) and purchase only what your vehicle requires.
