Good lord, ours aren't. Our most-convenient grocery store has prices like 25% higher than Wal-Mart, ~15% higher than a couple larger grocery stores farther away, and 10% higher than Target.
- tqi 4y agoOh sorry I meant within chains. ie the sketchy Safeway near me is the same price as the Safeway in the more posh part of town. My thinking is this data would be useful at the store level, but at the city or region level there are much easier ways to get data on the economic condition.
- yamtaddle 4y agoAh, sure, yeah, those are fairly consistent here, that's true. A couple exceptions (e.g. one grocery store dead center in our downtown) but yeah, mostly accurate.
