Default Re: Grocery store tricks

I actually did some research on one of our local grocery stores in college and they used to put end caps of completely unrelated items in the middle of a section. They were almost always more expensive than other options, but since they were in the "wrong" section people either assumed they were a good deal or picked them up as an impulse purchase. There's a whole science to how grocery stores (and I suppose all other stores) are set-up. It's kind of scary.
