#6.Fortified food products



Fortification of nutrients in foods may deliver toxic amounts of nutrients to an individual and also it is associated side effects. But people don’t give up on fortified foods. Marks said, be suspect of anything "maybe with a new ingredient, a fortified product—something like baked potato chips."



#7.Anything in the checkout aisle



Avoid the overpriced items in the checkout aisle. Grocery store owners stock up the aisle with things that are perfectly selected for you to buy  without a second thought. Those products are with very attractive packaging. "If you buy near the checkout, you'll often see the same items for less along the aisles," said Marks. "Impulse items that people buy waiting in line are marked up 100 to 200 percent along the checkout." This includes soda bottles in the fridge near the store's exit.
