Yesterday I went into Wal-Mart mind you, for a couple of things cause I needed wine and they do have the best prices usually (I rarely actually shop there) Long story short, I could not beleive the prices and the quality is BAD!!! Our small local store is actually cheaper on many things, but it too has shot up like crazy in the past month or so. I don't think they are overpriced as much as the market demand. Vons, trader joes, albertsons & fresh n easy are worse then staters. I rate staters a 3 out of 10 (10 is best). So at 3.00 a gal it cost me about 5 bucks round trip. Walmart & food 4 less are in banning which is 11 miles away (22 miles round trip).

I bought a marked down german chocolate cake for 3.50 (half off) & 2 cans of staters tuna for. Make your Stater Bros cake truly unique by adding custom decorations: Frosting Choose buttercream or whipped icing. Food 4 less & walmart is better priced then crater bros. Fruits & vegtables are over priced as well as mostly everything else. I went shopping a short while ago at staters & all i can say is DAMN. a small fee to show the car is a NON OP vehicle is the answer. Sure.mkts are doing a lot of business with people buying all the groceries etc.just wait a minute.all that stuff has to be paid for after initial delivery.the stocking of shelves.wages of employees.now after all the expenses are paid what does a person think the profit margin is?.I will tell you for a fact it's VERY little.Īs to the DMV. I could list all the costs involved but will save the space allowed here. Local could be cheaper then some things from South America.shipping is a factor.Īs to can goods.here again price depends on the amount (cases) purchased and from where.Įvery store has a overhead and COST of operation.payroll/rent being the two biggest costs.

Maybe the OP would like them to build a store across the street from the residence.Īs to fruits/veggies is concerned.availability from the grower to a mkt determines some cost. Staters is not to blame because the OP lives 11 miles from a mkt. After being in the Grocery trade for 23 yrs I could tear the OP post into shreds with his/her misunderstanding of the COST of a Grocery operation.
