"If you're interviewing for this company, you must make sure that you indeed have some sort of knowledge of dry grocery sales. This means you must understand the W.I.C. system, holidays/seasons (what sells, from firewood to smores, rice chex, to gatorade and bbq items). If you understand what happens on the store level, then as a buyer, you can pay attention to past sales at certain prices, and see how many units u went through. then you compare it to the general trend of the market, and what holidays are coming up and how much room you have in your warehouse. then look at the new price and decide how much you want to push out for merchandising and how much you want to keep on hand. I have not done it myself, but this is my perception of it."
