Today my group and I went to the Fresh Grocer Super Market on Broad and Cecil B. Moore. While we were there we looked around at the many items that are sold there and also there prices. While I was there I noticed that the super markets places certain items close together to make sure that we the consumers buy both of the products. For example, the chips were next to the the sodas and many people drink soda while they eat their chips. Another example is in the bread aisle; beside the bread was mayo on one side and cans of tuna fish on the other side. The super market places things that will catch the consumers eyes. I also noticed that on the fruits and vegetables it tells us where they came from. For example, some of the apples were products of The US, dried chili's were products of Canada, organic bananas were products of Ecuador, and the pineapples were products of Costa Rica. One last thing that i noticed while i was in the juice aisle was that the brand Arizona Iced Tea Green Tea was $1.99 for a 64oz and the brand Zeigler's Green Tea was $2.99 for a 64oz It's because the Zeigler's Green Tea is made from leaves and this process is pretty long because the worms and bugs eats the leaves which they can not use so they have to wait to for more to grow. On the other hand, Arizona 's Green Tea is really nothing but sugar and water. I enjoyed myself while at Fresh Grocer and i noticed a lot of things that i normally don't pay attention to so the next time I go to a super market I will pay more attention.
