Supermarkets have an arsenal of marketing tricks up their sleeves. They put the necessary daily commodities like milk and bread in the back of the shop, so you have to walk past every aisle to reach them. Also, they display fruit and veg. and meat a day or two before their off dates, so we only have a brief time before the item has to be thrown away. All these issues should be brought to public attention and the supermarkets exposed for their tactics which create waste.
