411 on Grocery Stores
Just how well do you know your local supermarket? Are there really things they wouldn't want me to know? Take a look for yourself.......
- Supermarkets on average, inject the meat an poultry with 25-45% water to make the meat look plumper. You are paying for this water.
- The supermarket is designed to slow you down as much as possible. Every extra minute you spend lingering will cost you $1.70, according to current research.
- The salad bars a "germ buffet". E-coil and salmonella are the most common inhabitants in these areas.
- The healthiest foods are the hardest to get to. The supermarkets place the healthiest items in the hardest to reach places.
- Shopping carts have more germs and bacteria than escalators and public bathrooms.
- 60% of all supermarkets had critical violations during health inspections. The biggest violation was keeping the meats at the proper temperature. Other big issues are insects and rodents.
- The Department of Weights and Measures found that, on average, supermarkets sell packages of meat that were 3.5% less than the stated weight. This can cost you hundreds of dollars yearly.
- It is estimated that at least 20 people have touched the produce before you.
- Research has shown that 60-70% of what ends up in our carts is unplanned. This is because the supermarket places the hard to resist items in easy view and reach.
- Scanners make mistakes and most of those occur on sale items
