In today's article I will tell you how to quickly open a plastic bag at the checkout and about two more life hacks that will be useful during a trip to a grocery store. Today, in many grocery stores, both in small shops and in large chain stores supermarkets, the cashier simply gives the package to the buyer without opening it, and in some cases you need to take the package yourself near the cash register. I think that many people, like me, are annoyed by the procedure for opening a package. It turns out it's very easy if you know a little trick.

1. How to quickly open a package? It turns out the manufacturer took care of this. Open the bag correctly from the side. Especially for this, its side edges are made specially uneven (seen in the first photo). It is for these irregularities you can easily hook, then slide your finger up to the handle and open the bag with ease. See all the steps in the photo by scrolling to the right. I noticed another interesting detail - in order to get between the irregularities from the side, it was necessary to take the bag not with the front side (where there is no picture).

2. Look wider. This advice should be taken literally, since retail chains arrange products on the shelves in such a way that at human eye level, whose height is 170 cm, the most expensive offers for the buyer are located. Look down and you will surely find the product cheaper and it is not a fact that its composition will be worse, and maybe even better than the "upper" analogue.

3. Look carefully at the price tags, especially the promotional ones. It would seem the most obvious advice, but, personally, I often took stock for one price, and in the check it increased by 2-3 times. This happens because of "additional conditions", for example, you need to take 2 or 3 pieces of the same product or the promotion is valid only upon presentation of a discount card. Examples in the photo, scroll to the right. If you liked the article - rate it like!
