(3). For the best bargains, avoid shopping around for your groceries
欲求物美价廉货,货比三家要不得
(4). 1:THRIFTY shoppers do not have to look far to find a bargain. 2:Offers abound in the cut-throat world of British supermarkets. 3:Received wisdom suggests that people trying to save money on their groceries should shop around to get the best prices. 4:But research presented on April 9th at the Royal Economic Society suggests that those who do so end up paying more.
(5). 1:Those who buy their groceries in fewer emporia—and so spend less—are also more likely to do their shopping online. 2:And on the internet they are more likely to buy products from supermarkets’ cheaper own-label ranges, says Edward Garner, also of Kantar. 3:Supermarkets do not always stock such ranges in their small convenience outlets; people shopping in a hurry may as well be encouraged to buy more expensive varieties. 4:In big stores, low-cost lines may be stashed well above or below a harried shopper’s line of sight. 5:Search a supermarket’s online store, however, and they pop up just as appetisingly as more expensive brands. 6:That provides much less scope for shelf deception.
