Australia, July 2023: With over eight million Aussies (33%) feeling that the supermarket doesn't care about them, it is becoming evident that we are not only forming unhealthy relationships with people but with their grocery store too. New research from budget-friendly meal kit, EveryPlate, shows that 60% of Aussies admit they are open to ending their turbulent relationship with the supermarket.
Stop settling for the bare minimum, the hot and cold treatment, and the yellow flags from the supermarket. EveryPlate has partnered with relationship expert Katia Loisel to help Aussies recognise the warning signs, and to help them end their one-sided relationship once and for all.
Relationship expert and EveryPlate Advocate, Katia Loisel, unpacks supermarket relationships:
"In stormy relationships, a partner may use intermittent reinforcement - the old 'treat them mean, keep them keen' - to play on your insecurities and trigger the dopamine system in the brain
associated with pleasure and reward. This keeps you hanging on, even when you know it's not good for you. A similar reaction happens when you grow used to 'too-good-to-be-true' loyalty plans and deals at the supermarket, only to have them change and the prices raised once more. You deserve more consistency in your life.
Supermarkets trick you into thinking you need more than you do with yellow sales tags and so called 'special buys'. Don't let the shiny yellow stickers trick you into thinking you want stuff that you don't need. Make sure to stick to what you really want and never visit on an empty stomach" continues Loisel.
