Most shoppers aren't aware that their local grocer is intent on influencing what you buy. Supermarket executives spend a lot of time thinking about how to part you from your hard earned money. It's all part of a well orchestrated plan to get you to spend more than you anticipated.

 But we're not going to let that happen.

We're going to pull back the curtains and reveal the "secrets" of the trade. Hopefully we can keep you from wheeling out a whole cart of groceries when you were only planning on buying a few things.

We think you will find this interesting.

This post is going to be a shocker (even for those who are well versed with the latest "money facts").

Hopefully you don't see yourself in too many of these scenarios. Though sometimes it's really true... our worst enemy is the person we see in the mirror every morning.

Threatening money facts like these are similar to encountering mines in a minefield. If you stumble into one, you (and your bank balance) may suffer for a lifetime.

Hopefully this helps those who need it.
