Grocery Hacks

We all have to grocery shop, at least once and awhile… unless you’ve taken to Google Express or one of the many other express shopping experiences that do the job for you. There are tricks that grocers and marketers use to try and get you to buy what they want you to, and not necessarily what you need.
