Over-priced!

I didn't try to comparison shop on purpose. But, I happened to notice recently that the 12 ounce bag of Ocean Spray dried cranberries (one of my most favorite treats) costs 1.99 at Super Target and 4.99 at Kroger where I do my grocery shopping. I am shocked that it could be $3 more expensive! This really makes me wonder about what other discrepancies there might be and whether I should consider doing my grocery shopping somewhere else.

Oh yes - I never look at prices between stores either but I noticed these dryer sheets that were $6.50 at Kroger and I thought that is so expensive. I went to Wal-Mart at they are $3.50 - yes it makes you wonder.

No way! I have comparison shopped (by accident, really) on a few things that I buy but it is never one store that consistently has the lower prices. They may have one item lower and another one higher. I wonder if it all evens out? It might be worth looking into what items you repeatedly buy to see if there's a big difference or not.
