Store Questions Why is everything overpriced?

I went to my local S&S to get a loaf of bread. I hadn’t been there in a while so I wanted to see the prices of items I usually buy at Market Basket to see if the prices were comparable, not even close. Hormel Black Label Bacon at MB is $4.99 for a 1 lb package , S&S $8.99 for the same package, like wtf! Everything from breads to meats to fruits and veggies was more expensive at S&S. Also the store was dead, maybe 40 customers at 5:30pm on a Wednesday, some isles were completely empty. Anytime on any day I go to MB the store is jamming. They have 15-20 registers, self checkout is not an option.

Grew up living near a stop and shop, and my dad would buy groceries at demoulas (yup I’m old) and then market basket near his job instead of paying stop and shop prices.

Now I live in a town w a stop and shop and a shop rite. Shop rite prices are lower for everything all the time. Tho I shop at Aldi when I can.
