If you come across these products on a big discount, don’t rush to buy them, but consider carefully.
Whenever you visit a store and see some products on sale, you will immediately want to buy them. However, some things should not be bought even at a big discount, because you need to question whether they are good for your family or not. Answering this question, you will realize that the amount of money we save from this sale is really insignificant. Know what you want when you want to buy something on sale, but at the same time, you need to calculate whether the discounts offered are suitable for buying them. 1. Processed Cheese At first, everything sounds good to you: Processed cheeses are made from natural cheeses. However, the more we dig into the details, the worse it gets. They add saturated fat (to raise cholesterol levels), large amounts of salt (to extend shelf life and enhance flavor) and artificial food dyes to natural cheeses. The primary goal of processed cheese manufacturers is to increase the shelf life of the product and sell the maximum quantity. Usually, the price of this product will be the same as that of a good quality natural cheese. 2. Whole grain bread Less flour and more grains is what motivates us when it comes to buying healthy whole grain bread. In fact, whole grain bread is often regular bread disguised as “healthy”. According to the recipe, it is made with white flour combined with rye flour, some dry seeds will be added. 3. Packaged fruit puree for children Packed fruit puree will save you a lot of time. Furthermore, the advertiser consistently convinces the buyer that the ingredients inside are harmless. It is used not only by children but also by adults as a long-awaited pre-lunch snack. Note, however, that the main ingredient in these juices is apples. This is a very cheap fruit. 4. Flavored yogurt and puddings Yogurt and pudding shelves take up a lot of space in supermarkets. It has many flavors from banana, strawberry, vanilla, mango. But unfortunately most products are high in sugar, thickeners and preservatives. Also, if you compare prices, you’ll notice that natural yogurt is usually cheaper. 5. Mixed nuts for snacks It’s a very popular snack because it tastes good, looks good, and makes us confident that we’re eating something healthy. However, if you look closely at the ingredients of the package, you will see that the main part of this product is cheap fruit, peanuts and raisins. There are actually expensive nuts like almonds or cashews, but very few. These blends are expensive, but don’t rush to buy them if you notice a discount because it’s much cheaper to make your own at home. 6. Ground spices Certain spices are responsible for creating accents and aromas in dishes. These spices are best used immediately after grinding. You should not store them for many years as they will lose their taste and aroma very quickly. Of course, no one can forbid you from using pre-ground spices if you don’t have the opportunity to purchase each spice individually. However, these blends will be mixed with many ingredients, among which flavor enhancers and stabilizers may be found. 7. Fish and meat A fillet of any fish will always fetch a high price. All because the craftsman took the time and skill to clean and you have to pay for it. When buying whole fish, you will have to clean and chop it. The good thing is that it will save you a lot of money and give you confidence that the product is prepared and cooked in good hygienic conditions. The same applies to poultry meat as it is much cheaper to buy whole birds than for separate parts. 8. Rice to make sushi rice Many people love this Japanese dish but not everyone can afford ready-made sushi. That’s why they decided to cook it at home. Supermarkets often have rice that says “for sushi” on the packaging. The characteristic is that they contain a lot of starch that will make the rice sticky after boiling. You can take regular round grain rice and cook it appropriately the results will be similar. Theo brightside
