I don't always have time to do this, but I do like going to stores and buying only the loss leaders. I think of it as my reverse marketing tactic. I saw one of my friends once in a local grocery store and he asked why I had 8 pounds of cheese and nothing else in my shopping cart.
The stores have so many tactics like staples in the back, loss leaders to get you in the store to buy higher priced goods, big carts, candy at the checkout and a million other strategies that all appeal to our reptilian brains it feels good to be able to ignore all that and just shop according to my price spreadsheets.
