List Scugog has become a major food shopping destination for people living in the northern communities of Durham Region since the recent opening of a fourth grocery store — so Focus on Scugog went out with a small shopping list one day last month just to compare “non-sale” prices at our local grocery establishments. For our comparison, we chose 18 “brand name products” - realizing each of these stores have their own store labels offering cheaper prices. The list, at left, shows there can be a significant difference in the price for identical items at any given time. But what we found most interesting, is that all four of the stores have a ‘best’ price and a ‘worst’ price at times — so it really comes down to being at the right place, at the right time, for the best deal. We haven't identified the stores for obvious reasons - this is not a scientific poll, nor is it as complete as most shopping lists would be. It is merely a sampling of some of the everyday items people pick up at their favourite grocery store. Where is the best place to shop? We will leave that up to you. In conclusion - it must be said that purchasing groceries, just like any other consumer product is a personal choice. But you can be assured, no matter where you purchase a product today — you are likely to see the same item advertised somewhere else at a lower price by the time you get it home. Happy shopping!
