Prices Are More at the End of the Aisles

While shopping recently, I noticed 2 different pricings for the same item, I was about to purchase (waxed paper). On the shelf, where it's always kept in the paper bag, plate and plastic bag aisle, this product was priced at $1.07 per box. But on the endcap or display at the end of each aisle (a few aisles over) the very same size box of waxed paper was $1.17), a dime higher because of the convenience of not having to walk to find it elsewhere in the store. So don't fall for these marketing ploys. Also, watch out for those special holiday baking displays, as well. Take the time to go hunt for the items in their original places down the aisles to make the most of your hard earned money!

Editor's Note: I will certainly keep my eye on this. Generally speaking, avoiding the end of the aisle items is a good tip. From time to time, you can find great sale items at the end of the aisles but most often they put junk food and convenience items there.
