Article updated on January 19, 2025, by Benjamin Joe: Supermarket Together has been out for a little while now and fans have had plenty of time to figure out all of the game’s inner workings. That said, there is a steady influx of new players who are opting to open up their own store for the very first time. There are a couple of other ways to help generate more money that weren’t mentioned in the original article. Since there is a steady stream of new players playing the game for the first time, it feels only right to update the article and include some of the other helpful ways to make some extra cash.

1

Hire Staff Members Early

Reduce The Amount Of Loss Due To Theft

• Hired Help Allows The Player To Focus On The More Important Jobs Around The Store

The game mechanics make customers steal if the line at the register is too long. Anything over 8 customers waiting in line will turn even the nicest of customers into thieves. To prevent this from happening, players should work toward hiring someone to work the register as soon as possible. In fact, if possible, the player should have two registers, one that an employee mans and then another that the player can hop on when things get busy.

Losing stock to theft can impact the player’s take, especially during the late stages of the game when players begin selling more high-value items. Should the player catch a thief, then hitting them with a broom will force them to start dropping their stolen goods.

Play With Friends

Share The Workload And Maximize Profits

• Playing With Friends Helps To Prevent Stock Loss Through Theft, Improves Customer Satisfaction, And More

This game is centered around playing with friends. Players should load up and play alongside others to help run their store as smoothly as possible. While hiring staff members is great for increasing efficiency, hired help costs money. Friends don’t get paid. So, if possible, it’s best to play alongside friends for an easier playthrough.

Communication is key. So, each player should be assigned a specific task. By doing this, there will be no confusion, and very few mistakes will be made.

Price Items Sensibly

Don’t Overprice Items

• Customers Aren’t Willing To Overpay For Products

Pricing items can be a bit of a challenge. If the price is too low, the player will begin losing money, charge too much, and customers won’t buy the product. Finding a middle ground can be tricky. One way to find out whether an item is too cheap or too costly is to listen to customers. Customers will make comments as they shop. If they think that an item is too expensive, then they’ll comment on it.

Not only that but at the end of an in-game day, there’s a stat for customers who weren’t happy with the prices. Customers won’t purchase an item if it is too expensive, so adjust prices accordingly to maximize profits.

Listen To Your Customers

• Customers Will Comment On Their Overall Shopping Experience, Listen To What They Have To Say

As mentioned in the previous entry, customers will complain if they think an item is too costly. This small feature can be an incredibly useful tool when it comes to making money. If a customer complains about an item’s price, change it, quickly. Not only that, but customers will also complain if the item they are looking for isn’t on the shelves. This can help players to keep the shelves nice and loaded with goods. If the customer can’t find what they are looking for, then they might just leave the store without spending a penny.

5

Recycle Empty Boxes

• Players Receive Money For Recycling Their Empty Boxes

Once the player has filled a shelf, they may be tempted to throw the empty box in the bin outside. This isn’t the best idea as it doesn’t do anything for the player other than take away the box. Instead, if the player heads across the street, they can recycle their empty boxes in the blue recycling bin. Each recycled box will net the player $1.50. While it may not sound like a lot, it soon adds up.

It can be difficult to find the time to run empty boxes over to the recycling bin. So, instead, players should keep all of their empty boxes in the stockroom until the store closes. Then, once the store has closed, they can take all of their empty boxes over to make a little extra money.

Price Items To Round Numbers

A More Efficient Register

• Pricing Items To The Nearest Round Number Makes Running The Register More Efficient

Players must keep their prices reasonable. That said, while it may be tempting to price an item at odd prices like $0.99, this is rarely a good idea. During the early stages of the game, the player will need to serve each customer themselves. Reaching for pennies takes longer. It is much easier to price items at round numbers to reduce the amount of time it takes to sort out the customer’s change.

As mentioned in a previous entry, customers will begin to steal if the line is too long. So, by pricing things at a round number, the player can speed up the checkout process, which will reduce the amount of items the customer loses through theft.

Don’t Unlock New Stock Too Soon

An Easy Mistake To Make

• Customers Expect The Player To Sell All Unlocked Stock. Unlocking New Stock Too Soon Can End Up Being Too Costly During The Early Stages Of The Game

As the player progresses, they’ll unlock points that they can invest in unlocking new stock. This is a great way of bringing in more customers and making more money. However, unlocking new stock too soon can actually cost the player some sales. Once new items have been unlocked, customers will start coming in search of the new items. If the item isn’t on the shelf, then the customer may leave empty-handed.

To avoid making this mistake, players should wait until they have enough money to purchase at least one of each item. It is unclear why or how customers know what stock options the player has unlocked, but it does bring an interesting and challenging element to the game.

Look At The Market Value Weekly

Thursdays Are Price Days

• Market Values Fluctuate Regularly. Check Prices Weekly To Avoid Losing Money In Sales

Each Thursday, the market value of items can change. So, players need to check their pricing before opening up shop. For the most part, prices won’t fluctuate too much. However, there will be instances when a price either drops or increases by a fairly substantial amount.

To maximize the amount of money the player makes, they should always check their prices on a Thursday to ensure that they are charging an amount that is both good for customers and good for turning a profit. As mentioned in previous entries, charging too much will mean fewer sales, but charging too little will mean that the player makes less money per sale.
