10 RULES for BUYERS which SELLERS hope you do not know

in #rules7 years ago (edited)

Everyone knows that when you buy something, you have to look at the expiration date. However, as it turns out, this is a very small thing. You need to be careful about other things, maybe not very obvious. Here's what you should look for when going to the supermarket:

  1. The time a product stays on the shelf depends on its category

The time the product can be stored on the shelf is written on the label. For products which stay on the shelf for 72 hours, there should be the time, day and month, and for those up to 30 days, day, month and year.

  1. Incorrect labels

If the amount paid is different from the calculations you have made, do not hesitate to check the price of the products. Sometimes sellers forget to remove the wrong price if it changes.

  1. Products which are very close to the expiration date are brought forward on the shelf

Usually products that expire very soon can be found in stores at a very low price, especially if they have expired. Their sale is forbidden, however, by law.

  1. Storage conditions are no less important than the length of time a product may remain on the shelf

Even though the length of time that the desired product may remain on the shelf has not yet expired, pay attention to the storage conditions on the label. If not observed, even goods that have not expired may be inappropriate to be consumed. If you want something stored in the refrigerator, pay attention to the temperature inside. This should be displayed on a screen or there should be a thermometer.

  1. Perishable foods should be produced locally

When you buy a product that can not be kept very long on the shelf, you should be careful where it was prepared - the closer it is to the shops, the greater the chance it is to be fresh, good quality.

  1. Organic or natural products

As we know, the value of organic products is much higher than that of natural products. The word "organic" guarantees that synthetic pesticides, animal fertilizer or unnatural substances have not been used in the production of these foods. However, the same is true for natural products, only that the supplier has not yet received a certificate.

  1. Date of production or date on the packaging

Sometimes vendors do not put the production date on the product but the date the label is cut.

  1. The time that frozen products can stand on the shelf does not guarantee their quality

Vegetables and burger can be repeatedly frozen, so they are not suitable for consumption.

  1. The label is an important document

The label should contain information on composition, nutritional value, duration of shelf life, and manufacturer information. There should even be the address, and all the data should be clearly written.

  1. Discounts for expired goods

If you take a product that expired the day before or expires that day or the next day, paay attention to the storage conditions and consume it as soon as possible.

I have bought some stuff out of date before because some shops put the old stock at the front. Always check for the best date :) Good tip.

Yes, we all made this mistake. That is why you should always check the expiration date at the back of the shelf, you may get a better product!
