Suddenly can't find your favorite jar of peanut butter? Supermarkets regularly move items throughout the store so shoppers walk around longer and buy more stuff, according to Lempert.

If you are, take the time to track down what you were originally looking for. For those who like to buy organic foods, click here to see a video on how to buy organic without breaking the bank.
