I have seen more of this 'food' ad and less of the 'gifts for everyone' side they started with this season.

Looks like that might be a private document, although I'm really interested to see what you found!SamSpade wrote: ↑December 23rd, 2023, 12:07 pm Many stores have these items on sale right now, which kind of fits Walmart's dates (11/1-12/31).
Smith's in Utah did kick everyone else's pricing to the curb, mainly because of the ham and produce. I didn't even use the extra $2 potentially to remove from the bill (one would have to purchase 5 items in the promotion if I understood the offer correctly). If I shopped in Utah, I likely would buy Harmon's nice looking and available deli items instead of the more generic name brands. Pricing was reasonable and ingredients "cleaner."
I tried to use a "super" Target from Denver. Again, weird selection and some odd gaps for online shopping, but ultimately the cheapest. I did like that Target had maximum pricing on the ham and turkeys.

Cool, thanks for that comparison!
Not sure what is worse, that variance between store co owned, that the 3rd cheapest overall store isn't even in NJ, or that ShopRite is so far from the bottom.marketreportblog wrote: ↑December 24th, 2023, 12:04 pm I did one myself last night -- it's not a perfect one-to-one comparison, but it's an idea. And I always love seeing the difference between ACME ($73) and Kings ($188).
Expanded to include a few different ShopRites and including the ShopRite sales for this week, which run Sunday to Saturday for some reason. Everyone else around here runs Thursday to Wednesday or Friday to Thursday. I also added a few more NY stores for comparison.BillyGr wrote: ↑December 24th, 2023, 6:20 pm Not sure what is worse, that variance between store co owned, that the 3rd cheapest overall store isn't even in NJ, or that ShopRite is so far from the bottom.
Maybe there is some truth in the ShopRite sales problems in their recently closed market being due to being not as cheap as they used to be, just not noticeable for those who focus on the specials vs. trying to buy everything there?
I think that was more common at one point (Sun-Sat, maybe even Mon-Sat when many places weren't open 7 days), but others have changed over time (I seem to remember a couple chains switching days over the years, thinking Stop & Shop may be one, possibly others no longer such as A&P or Pathmark). I do remember there being a variety down in NJ when all the chains were up & running, having to check different sites different days to see what was going to be valid when we'd be down that way (usually over a weekend).marketreportblog wrote: ↑December 24th, 2023, 7:44 pmExpanded to include a few different ShopRites and including the ShopRite sales for this week, which run Sunday to Saturday for some reason.
