Still, there can be upwards of a 20% price difference in a bag of groceries between competing stores in the same geographic area! Thus, especially in today's economy, the smart shopper needs to be aware of where the "best" place to shop may be. We conduct a "Standardized National Grocery Store Cost Survey" based on commonly used breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. National and "store" brands along with daily store "specials" are included in the survey. e.g. A breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, english muffin, jam, orange juice and coffee. Any regional area where three or more stores compete can participate in this survey process. Contact: cdstowell@comcast.net Full menu details, the survey process description/format along with a "live" example will be sent back to you. Cheers!
