Doesn't work on me!! I'm primarily price driven and calculate the unit price of 'special offers', compare it with the price of the other similar products, other stores, And also previous experience with the quality of the particular product. When it comes to foodstuffs I look at the labelling to assess whether corners have been cut to save costs (eg sausages with meat from all sorts of animals and ... other sources).
The physics is theoretical but the fun is real.
