#15 isn't in my experience, either. I don't have a problem being
scammed by any of that stuff. I certainly know BOGO doesn't mean you
have to buy TWO. Get one for half price. You definitely don't have to
buy 10 of whatever. I don't buy pre-cut produce. I prefer fresh and
cut it at home. That's what I have knives for.
I don't use olive oil for every little thing so I don't worry about what
it being "cut" with other oils.
I tend to stick to my shopping list. As for everything eye level on the
shelf influencing me... nope. Many items I purchase are below or above
eye level. Took me a while to find the pearled barley because I had to
stoop to find it. LOL Ditto jarred artichoke bottoms, placed slightly
above my head.
These articles you post are always a tad strange.
