Are You Being Upsold At The Deli?
November 9th, 2007There is some talk around the frugal blogosphere, and in savings forums, that Deli Staff will constantly ask if you want more to get you to purchase additional meat. While it wouldn’t allow for massive profits on an individual basis, it could nationally.
I was under the assumption that the items are difficult to measure up. Friends who work at the supermarket agree - rather than waste time fiddling around on the scales, they check if rounding up or down is ok.
It is worth being aware of the potential upsell as this can affect your budget over the long run. My belief is that it all gets eaten and if you want precise measurements, pay extra for the prepackaged meat.
