Cheese and Wine Anyone?

Hey, these days you could almost feed yourself for free simply by walking around the supermarket. On the right day, there’s someone standing on the corner of every other aisle you turn offering samples of cheese or tiny tumblers of the latest wine. So what kind of shopper are you? Do you steam right in and try anything and everything on offer (even if you don’t really fancy it) simply because it’s free? Or, do you really, really want to have a nibble, but just feel slightly too embarrassed to tuck in? Or, are you simply not interested, because you’re in the supermarket to shop, not eat? Well, if you fall into the last category, you could be missing a trick - after all, they’re promoting things for a reason - so that you’ll buy. And how, do you know whether you’ll like something without trying it? It really is a great opportunity to try before you buy. If you’re guilty of chucking all sorts of things in your trolley just to see if you like them and then pushing them to the back of the cupboard to be discovered some time never then ‘Try before you Buy’ is an avenue you should explore. So the next time someone in a garish t-shirt and baseball cap offers you a lump of cheese or a thimble of wine, take time out and try it. It could save you a fortune in the long run!
