Have any west side residents noticed the large price difference for identical items purchased at the West Side Sparkle Market and the Cornersburg Sparkle Market?
- I don't pay attention to grocery prices. I go in, get what I want, and pay for it. :)
- I don't shop at the Cornersburg Sparkle.
I am curious to know what the difference is, though. If the West Side Sparkle has significantly higher prices, I wonder if that is an ominous sign?
I used to be that way too with grocery prices, but prices have really gone up in my area over the past several
months and for the first time in many years I am starting to pay a lot more attention and comparison shop.
A sad sign of the times, I guess...
Westsider,
It's actually the Cornersburg location that appears to have the higher prices. I'll quote some examples after visiting both stores again.
I take it that one of these stores is privately owned and not a corporate store, or both may be privately owned by different owners.
