Hi, everyone! I’m Georgiana, your online English teacher. My mission is to help you to speak English fluently.

• Are you a spender? Today, I will talk about the tricks supermarkets use to make you buy more than necessary. 
• You’ll also improve your speaking with a funny mini-story.

Ok! Let’s start!

When you leave the supermarket, have you ever wondered why you spent more money than you originally planned?

By the way, a spender is someone who spends money unnecessarily. And another interesting expression: “overspending,” which means spending more than planned or necessary. 

These supermarket strategies can simply be called tricks. The truth is that supermarkets have more tricks than a magician.

Let’s take a look at a few of them and learn some vocabulary on the subject.
