Hey, guys, i snuck up today to ask a secret from the supermarket employees, and it scared me -- so when we were buying, a lot of "preliminary" goods were actually "preliminary." isn't that amazing? Don't worry, i'm here today to open up this secret, to turn you into a rich man in a supermarket, to avoid a marketing trap, to buy a real good baby
Why is there so many numbers in the merchandise? What exactly do they mean
We usually buy things in supermarkets and see bar codes, production dates, batch numbers on the packaging of goods, which may be “good-looking” or “useful”, but these numbers contain a lot of secrets。
For example, the figures in the barcode are not only the number of the commodity, but may also reveal information about the origin, batch, etc. The date of production and the shelf life are important clues to help you judge the freshness of the commodity and its availability。
Decrypt: hidden password in trade bar code
A lot of people know that barcodes of goods (e. G., ean) are made of numbers, but you know what? Some of the figures actually represent the batches and origins of production。
For example, the first numbers of barcodes for certain commodities represent countries or areas of production, such as “690” to “695” represent mainland china. “00” to “13” for the united states, etc. In this way, supermarket employees can quickly determine the origin of the commodity by bar code。
The secret of the production date and batch code
Apart from bar codes, production dates and batch codes on commodities are also key. Many brands indicate “production date: 2023. 10. 15”, or are expressed in a series of numbers。
For example, the batch code for some commodities would be “231015”, representing production on 15 october 2023. There are also commodities that use a series of digital codes to tell you how much of the product is produced, how much of the product is produced, how much of the product it may even produce。
How can we save money with this information? I'll teach you some practical skills
Identification of “imminent goods”: many commodities are on discount because they are nearing the shelf life. Learn to look at production dates and avoid buying goods that are about to expire. See, for example, “2024. 02. 01” production dates, which are new today。
Avoiding “high prices”: some commodities look expensive, but they are in the process. For example, the packaging says "time-bound promotion," but you can use the production date to determine if you can still eat. You don't have to be fresh。
Focus on batch codes: the batch codes of some commodities can tell you how much they are produced. You can look at supermarket stocks, select the latest batch of goods and make sure you get fresh. Questing for “poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-o-poo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-。
Why is this information hidden? What's behind it
Of course, supermarkets and branders want you to spend more, so they'll use the packaging and labeling of goods to direct you to buy something that looks more expensive. And the short-term product is in a prominent position, and many people feel that “cheap is what they earn”, but when they learn to read the date, they can avoid being caught in the pit。
In fact, supermarket employees told me privately that they would also help their families to select fresh commodities based on the date of production and the batch code. So, stop staring at price labels and learn to read numbers so that we can really get to the three。
Summary: smart shopping, starting with reading numbers
The secret today is not just to read price labels, but to learn to read production dates and batch codes on commodities. These “hidden information” are used to judge the freshness of the product and to avoid short-lived and marketing traps to make it worth more
Next time you go to the supermarket, you can take this "secretary" and look hard at the numbers on the product, and maybe you can get a "over-value" or "undue" product. It's easy to save money, if you know "see the numbers" and you can be a saver in a supermarket
