Have you ever wondered why the products in a supermarket ( big or little ) are displayed in a certain way? I have been surprised for years that upon entering the supermarket you first come across the vegetables and the fruit. And just when you know your way around the bread’s first again. The rest of the groceries will follow along your way through the store.

A talk in our local supermarket explained the walking route through the supermarket: it appears from research (which unfortunately i couldnt find anywhere ) that we customers first choose a certain vegetable and the other groceries there on adjust. I get what my eyes thinks is delicious to eat for that day !

It is assumed that you start combining your meal in the store? Is that right? I always make a note. I make notee for everything by the way !
Based on tasty and healthy recipes that I have seen in my cookbooks in the kitchen and want to try, or on the basis of which I think my children will eat the best that evening. Very important to have them eat, then i enjoy my dinner even more.

Does the route influence what you will eat? The supermarket layout attents that anyway. Our Son works at the Lidl, and I understand the layout of the supermarket has to do with the quality of the products. The fruit and vegetables appear to radiate a certain quality. So when you come in as a customer, you immediately see this quality. Also to encourage us to make certain dishes. For example, are the asparagus on sale? Then these are at the very front. A recipe card or rather a suggestion in the box, apparently makes us decide what kind of meat or fish we are going to eat. The recipe cards are also always at the front of the store, namely where you enter. It makes sence now i write about it. But i have to make a note !

There are high margins on fruit and vegetables. So it is important to keep it nice and visible for when we enter. That, of course, works exactly the same with the products on the heads of shelves. These are on sale. The signs point us to the offer prices and the supermarket hopes that we will buy them. And what about the baskets of cakes and sweets at the checkouts? If you have to stand in line for a long time, or if you are not in line for so long but have an appetite, or if you have your children with you? The baskets of tasty things attract your attention. How often do you decide if you are at the checkout anyway but take that pack of stroopwafels that is there in front of you. Unfortunately, the really healthy products are never there.

Did you know that the A-brands are at eye level in the store? And that their own brand products, which are often inferior to the A brands, are completely at the bottom. As a customer, you have to put more effort into putting your own brand product in your cart or basket than if you opt for an A brand. I buy every brand depending on the product.

Well I have to agree with you on how you see supermarkets! There just seemed to be a method to their Madness even if we don't think there is. As JJ pointed out, cereal and other marketable items for children are placed at eye level. Children's eye level, which is way different than ours, depending on their age. I also noticed that their brands are sneaky in that they look very much like a popular name brand and placed usually side by side so that an unsuspecting person may pick theirs up. I have done that myself when it is almost exactly the same and there's very little difference. O their name is on it but they use the same coloring as the other product and unfortunately when I am in a rush I am not as cognizant of everything that I'm picking up I guess.

There has been a lot of studies over the years on what will sell best, what will sell fastest, what can sell for the most or the least and all this is taking into consideration when they are laying out a market. Another thing is that many of the markets move things around on regular basis so that you have to walk around the entire store to find what you're looking for, perhaps picking up things that you wouldn't on a normal basis.

I can say that I am one of those people that makes a shopping list and pretty much sticks to it. There will be the odd item that I may pick up, but usually I stick to it almost 100% because I have already made recipes to go with the food and I hate waste so I try not to buy anything extra unless I have a strict purpose for it.

I love the way you marketed your own Market Friday and your layout and how you presented it was very brilliant. I want to thank you for being a part of Market Friday and I absolutely know how much time and effort goes into putting one together so I appreciate all of your hard work and as always I wish you a wonderful night.

#MarketFriday loves you!

Well that’s a great compliment and indeed I love to go to more markets but these days life is catching up and I don’t have the time to go out but this was one I thought was interesting because we go there every day or three times a week. Taking the kids is no good I will go there with a list and come back at the counter with a cart full off stuff that’s not on the list ! And the philosophy behind all the arrangements is brilliant
So again thanks Denise and see you tomorrow’s the EL

Maybe not!!!I took off most of the week for the holdiay!!!!!

Anyway, I love your market and I am glad you joined! It makes me long to move back!!! :)

I walk crossing the supermarket fruit and veggies is if I enter but also where I pay so it can wait. I do not like heavy stuff on my veggies.

If you ask me supermarkets change every few weeks.

Some have soda, water first and tea (also), others start with bread and pie (super coop), some with water/soda and fruit/vegetables (pennymarket)... I doubt they invested it.

Here all jumbos are the same but the Lidl is different everywhere here I like that but only when I have time cause I cannot find the stuff I need but I like wonder around

I like the idea of your new tags go for it

I remember reading an article about how much research goes into the layout of a supermarket, all designed to make us buy more, and the one thing that always stuck with me is how the order the cereal, the one skids will want are all at kids height so they nag the parents to buy it for them, I have seen that work with my grandkids LOL

Before I became a mum I use to read that too and was like : yeah right ! But now I have kids I don’t take them to the superstores because they want so many things I come home 300 Euros lighter and without food 😬

I prefer going without the grandkids, but one Grandson wants to be with his dad and granddad if we ever go anywhere, but he is better now and doesnt want to full the cart LOL

I will wait till that day hahah

LOL its worth waiting for :)

I love this picture a lot. you really all have an eye for a good typography there, in Holland :P

Well thank you for the compliment i am not a pro like you but i try .... and most off all i have so much fun

Interesting blog. this have more details about shopping than photos.

Good one!

Haha the world of supermarkets and selling stuff is huge and a lot to be learned

That's true, In fact it was one of my dreams to start one, but thinking about the logistics, competition and other headaches I dropped the idea

It’s heavy duty !

I believe they might have researched for years the best disposal.

I think its a huge study and there are always more ways to do a routing. In a supermarket i dont mind
