minus-squarehash@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoAnyone noticed a pricing difference with “local” grocers? Obviously there aren’t many left and at least in my area they rely on a regional distributor that’s pretty consolidated. Just curious if they’ve been treating consumers any better.
minus-squareclif@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoThe spouse does most of the shopping but I was in a Harps the other day and saw that a medium (shrinkflated) bag of Cheetos was $8.75 USD. Harps isn’t super local but… Holy shit. Who can afford Cheetos at that price? I used to buy them as an occasional treat but fuck that noise. EDIT: for fun I just searched Walmart and they’re $5.94 there. I’m still not spending that much for a garbage treat.
minus-squareki77erb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoDon’t worry. They’ll be “marked down” to regular price (still overpriced) on the sell-by date so people think they’re getting a deal.
