Price-reduced supermarket discounts

Most of the respondents said they feel they are paying more at restaurants, resulting in them cutting back on visits, ordering fewer items and choosing less expensive restaurants.

The findings of another survey indicate that restaurants are right to prioritize offers. The survey of 2, people, which was conducted earlier this year for PYMENTS , shows that one in four fast-food customers seek deals when deciding where to eat.

In response, a push to win over customers with restaurant perks and limited-time promotions is on. Amid rising costs, ways to save may require thinking outside of the box. This may include, for example, using coupon apps, loyalty programs and cash-back credit cards with high cash-back rates.

As the holiday season nears another way involves looking for more more deals. Last year, major retailers including Walmart and Kroger offered discounts for bargain holiday meal planning. Jamie Feldman is a journalist, essayist and content creator.

Financial barriers against buying sufficient fruits and vegetables principally apply to low-income groups [ 10 , 11 ]. In our study, a majority of study participants had a standard income or above, making that their income was relatively high.

Nevertheless, our results indicate that discounting fruits and vegetables was effective in this relatively high income sample as well, meaning that it can be expected that this strategy is equally or even more effective among people having limited financial recourses.

Finally, results can not be directly generalised to populations with different eating habits and a different culture as opposed to the Netherlands such as other EU countries or the US. Nevertheless, seen the generally low fruit and vegetable consumption in the entire EU [ 47 ] and also in the US [ 48 ] it can be expected that lower fruit and vegetable prices can have similar or even greater effects there as well.

A strong merit of our study is the use of the three-dimensional web-based supermarket which closely images a real shopping experience.

Nevertheless, the assortment of the web-based supermarket is not as extensive as a real supermarket. Also, the Virtual Supermarket does not give insight into how people may shift to non-food items as a consequence of the price changes.

Besides, the results are limited to a supermarket environment and do not give insight into effects at other point of purchase settings. Another limitation is that people may react differently in a real shopping situation with real products and real money compared to our web-based situation.

Still, a large majority of the participants stated that their purchases in the web-based supermarket resembled their regular food purchases. Also, participants who had trouble in understanding the application were excluded from analysis. Furthermore, there is evidence that peoples' virtual behavior largely corresponds with their actual behavior.

Sharpe et al. The authors found that peoples' simulated purchase behavior is highly predictive of their actual behavior [ 50 ]. Moreover, compared to previous studies where a supermarket environment was modeled using only 60 products [ 24 ] or using online drop-down lists [ 25 ], our three-dimensional, products containing application seems a good quality research instrument.

Unlike this, it is important to validate our results in a real shopping environment. A final limitation of our study is that some selection bias may have occurred because participants were self-selected.

Still, participants were not aware of the research aims and were blinded with regard to assignment of the research conditions, which is considered a merit of our study. This study brings important new evidence into the effectiveness of reducing fruit and vegetable prices by a randomized controlled trial in a unique three-dimensional web-based supermarket.

Also, the study revealed that the discounts neither lead to higher expenditures in other food categories nor to higher calorie purchases.

Future studies should expand these findings to a real supermarket setting. It is important that such studies focus on the effects on overall consumption along with the specific effects of pricing strategies among low-income consumers.

Background In the search for effective interventions to stimulate healthier food choices, there is increasing recognition that the environment either physical, social or economical plays an important role in peoples' food choices, and is therefore potentially appropriate for interventions [ 1 ].

Methods The three-dimensional web-based supermarket This study made use of an exclusively designed research tool which can be used to study pricing strategies in a supermarket environment without a complex implementation process: the Virtual Supermarket.

Profit and prosper with the best of expert advice - straight to your e-mail. While inflation and rising interest rates are pushing up the cost of just about everything, they are not the only culprits behind the food increases, studies show.

Rising temperatures and extreme heat , for example, are destroying crops and contributing to sky-rocketing prices on goods such as coffee and olive oil.

Flashy deals and buy-one-get-one promotions are appealing, but they should be considered within the larger structure and context of price increases, as the report points out.

While the prices are not expected to decline, they are likely to decelerate, however. Besides the grocery checkout counter, consumers are feeling the pinch at restaurants.

The number of restaurant diners has dropped significantly so far this year, according to a survey of people last month by Revenue Management Solutions. Most of the respondents said they feel they are paying more at restaurants, resulting in them cutting back on visits, ordering fewer items and choosing less expensive restaurants.

The findings of another survey indicate that restaurants are right to prioritize offers. The survey of 2, people, which was conducted earlier this year for PYMENTS , shows that one in four fast-food customers seek deals when deciding where to eat.

In response, a push to win over customers with restaurant perks and limited-time promotions is on. Amid rising costs, ways to save may require thinking outside of the box.

If you're not on the lookout for reduced-for-quick-sale food items at your grocery store and other places like the dollar store and even drugstores, you're missing out on some real savings.

In my experience, you can expect almost a 50 percent discount — or even more — on dented canned goods, as well as on boxed items like cereals and cake mixes that got a little crushed in shipping. Discounts on meat, produce and baked goods approaching their "sell by" date are often discounted by 30 percent.

For extra values, look for grocery stores that mark down meat with preprinted, fixed-value labels e. Remember the Coupons. Stephanie Nelson aka "Coupon Mom" , one of the nation's leading authorities on grocery coupons, says coupons can be redeemed for most items that are already reduced for quick sale.

Think again.
