On a related note, my grandfather used to give away a tub of ice cream to his customers on their way out of his furniture store so they’d be forced to go home and freeze it —- preventing them from shopping the competition in the same day.

A list removes the need to decide at all.
These include strategic floor layouts, the smell of fresh bakery goods such as bread and cakes, special offers, slow music, reduced lighting, fresh produce first, eggs in strange places, expensive products at eye level, and of course, the items in the checkout.
Having a shopping list does help. It's the sticking to it I'm curious to how easy that is.
I wonder what the overall frequencies of different customer behaviors, there, are...
Yes. But time has a cost. The reality is, leaving empty handed is a loss.
As for bargains, that's the key. Buy big when X is priced low.
Unless having lots of X at home will lead to you consuming more X at a faster rate than you normally would.
Where did all my pistachios go? I bought like 20 pounds.
Great strategy, but if you ever have interruptions that cause you to empty out the larder, you will then starve since you can't shop.
Oh, wait... you're probably a human being not a computer program. Sorry: it's a kind of a reflexive code review process for me by now.

Because most grocery store items are pre-packaged or raw, they don't even register in my mind as consumable food until I put the work in to cook them.
(Imprecise anecdote, it could've been their customer research team and not the owner...)
The E and A comes from Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, respectively the farm where he grow up, and his home town.
And it was indeed Ingvar that was the brains behind it back in 1956, i am not really sure they had "customer research teams" back then.
It works exactly the same way. There have been several times that I have gone to Bunnings for a hangover snag, and ended up buying something.
Sadly, Bunnings effort to open up in the UK has fallen flat on its face and so I won't get to enjoy the Saturday morning Bunnings snag unless I go back to Australia.
I was just about to say the same! I only lived in Aus for a few years and came back to the UK; the news that we were getting Bunnings made me happy but it's all gone South now. I was really looking forward to those charity snags!
