The market is a real battlefield of buyers and sellers

Many buyers mistakenly believe that the market is a place for selling high-quality and at the same time inexpensive goods. However, the reality is far from being so rosy. A few decades ago, many were engaged in a household and carried what they produced to the market. It used to be the main and almost the only place of trade, and therefore the demand for products has always been high, since none of the buyers doubted the naturalness of the products. Currently, a large number of shops and supermarkets have appeared, but the market has not lost its relevance. But those who go there for inexpensive and high-quality things need to be careful.

The food market is fraught with many secrets and tricks. Sellers overweight buyers, offer them stale goods and name a deliberately false country of origin. And even children know that the market is a place where they can cheat. However, there are such schemes that we are not even aware of, and therefore fall into the trap of deceiving unscrupulous trade workers.

1. In order to increase the mass of granulated sugar, bags with itput overnight near a container of water. Sugar absorbs moisture and becomes 10% heavier. Therefore, when buying it, pay attention that it is not dark, and there are no lumps in it.
2. When buying fish, choose the one with the thinnest ice crust. Dishonest sellers deliberately soak it in water and sell it with ice, which is what you pay for.



3. The meat trade is mainly about selling stale goods. To do this, enterprising merchants rub meat products with sunflower oil, soak them in a solution of potassium permanganate and use other tricks. And in order to check whether the meat was stained, attach a white napkin to it. If the color is unnaturally bright, then you should not buy this product.
4. To increase the mass of cottage cheese, semolina is often mixed into it. To reveal the deceit, ask to cut a piece - cottage cheese with impurities will crumble into crumbs, and the spoiled one will have a perfectly even cut.
5. Milk is also not recommended to buy from the hands without trying it, because in order to prevent it from spoiling, cunning sellers add soda to it. And, of course, for all food products, require documents on sanitary examination.

In stores, such tricks are used much less frequently than in the market, as large retail outlets value their reputation. Therefore, for the purchase of products, perhaps, you should prefer reliable and trusted places. However, in addition to the food market, there is also a clothing market,which is also full of surprises and surprises. And in most cases they consist in appropriating brands with those things that clearly do not deserve it. In addition, now it is very difficult for an inexperienced person to distinguish genuine leather from artificial, which is what dishonest sellers use. And, of course, there are cases when clothes and shoes made in China are passed off as Polish, Italian or American.

The modern market is saturated with all these tricks. This is in most cases the result of increased supply, he althy competition and carelessness of buyers. So be careful when you go shopping.
