With the best of intentions, we began our third season.\nOur plans included visiting many food markets, groceries, wine stores and more but COVID-19 had different plans. So, like most of you listening, we are staying home and making the best of it. I, for one, am getting lots of things done that I simply don\u2019t have time for under normal conditions. Natalia is doing the same. For the record, we have a catering arm to our business so we now have the opportunity to develop it beyond the occasional order. We are full-fledged caterers with curbside takeout and delivery!\nBut back to the business of podcasting\u2026\nSince we are stuck inside, planning is always at the top of my mind (you know how I love lists). So get prepared, I know we are, as we lead you through the maze of grocery store psychology and then how to deal with and notice it as you do your occasional shopping these days. The stockers don\u2019t just throw the items on the shelves wherever they like or wherever they will fit. Oh no! You have to consider not only what shelf it goes on but possibly that a manufacturer paid to have its product placed squarely in the \u201cbullseye\u201d so you don\u2019t miss it. Also, don\u2019t disregard those end caps in the stores, they have a big purpose as well. And, of course, we all know what that purpose is, right? It\u2019s to get you to buy stuff. Stuff that you need and then stuff that you don\u2019t need but gosh, it looks so enticing\u2026I need one, or five.\nSo come with us as we tell you all about Supermarket Psychology and what you can do about it.\n\n\nNow, you are supremely prepared to face the grocery store today and when things get back to \u201cnormal\u201d because even though it may be the \u201cnew normal\u201d, it will be back.\nSo, enjoy!\nListen, subscribe (on Apple Podcasts, please\u2026that would be great!), download, and review us.
