I'm in a bit of a rush and not caught up, but what are people noticing when they compare?

MarketStEl · March 14, 2006

I'm noting the wide variations in prices both within the United States and from store (category) to store (category) within a single metropolitan area.

Buying in bulk really does save a bunch of money, as the Costco-vs.-supermarket comparison illustrates. But is doing so practical if you're a single person or a two-person household?

Prices in the US and Australia seem comparable, but how did butter get to be so cheap Down Under? (I've not seen it for less than $2/lb in Philadelphia for quite some time. Regular supermarket prices hover around $4 to $4.50/lb, and sale prices around $2.50-$3/lb).

I'd like to add a couple of notes about my price reports when they occur:

The Reading Terminal Market is the price/quality leader when it comes to produce in the area. Prices at its regular produce stands are consistently lower than supermarket prices, and the quality is higher. (The RTM also has stands featuring Lancaster County produce in season, several area family farms in rotation from Thursday through Saturday during the growing season, and a stand specializing in organic produce [see the "Fair Food Farmstand" topic on the Pennsylvania board for info]. These are consistently higher in price than the supermarkets, but you're assured of getting locally grown produce that is as fresh as can be.)

The 9th Street produce merchants are the absolute price leaders, bar none, but the quality is uneven (many of those rock-bottom bargains are on produce that is pretty close to expiring, which makes these items bargains only if you use them the moment you get back from your shopping trip). Nonetheless, the Italian Market is popular with shoppers of modest means--even the meat vendors beat the supermarkets on price, and one of those vendors, Esposito's, offers better quality than is often found in the supermarket meat case (they also supply some of the city's better restaurants).

I live in Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA.

4 cucumbers US$ .25 each

3# Roma tomatoes US$ .69 pound

4 heads romaine lettuce US$ .79 each

I really was impressed today while out collecting prices. One major thing I realized is that my butcher does not charge much more than about 20 cents per kilo more, for instance for leg of lamb, by than your average supermarket. That was a nice suprise. I got into a nice discussion with someone about that. :biggrin:

Also I need help identifying chuck. What is the French equivalent of that?

Alright the calc looks right. I initially miscalulated between euros and dollars but I fixed it. The dollar / pound price is in bold.

There's a great cross-reference here, including Spanish, German, Italian and a few others. Since it uses British nomenclature, the hardest part about using it is the English-American translation.

I took the list, put it into an Excel spreadsheet, and printed it out for my weekly or so trip to the grocery store today. These are prices today at the Safeway at Powers and Constitution, in case anyone in the area wondered.

<p>

The Current Price is the price you'd pay today with their club card - sale price if it's on sale, regular price if not. I've included the regular price if things are on sale, and short notes on quantity. I have more notes at the bottom of the page.

<p>

My notes:

<p>

When there were multiple brands, I chose either the one I would buy were I buying it, or the most popular brand I knew of (e.g. Folgers for coffee).

<p>

I was amazed at how many things on this "staple" list were on sale. Most of them were at a reduced price, which made more work for me.

<p>

I wasn't surprised that out of everything on this list, I only bought beef (chuck), cabbage, tomatoes, cream, eggs, bananas, and bread (100% Whole Wheat). Many of the things I usually buy I already had, but a lot of these aren't my staples. Some things that are my staples that aren't on this list are bagged salad, greens, frozen broccoli, cheese, cold cuts, cottage cheese, peanut butter, canned tuna, Splenda.

<p>

I admit that I mail order my coffee from Rio Grande Roasters (now part of Victor Allens') because I'm addicted to their Thunderbolt blend, which is about $10.53/lb before shipping. I had no idea what grocery store coffees cost before this - and after drinking Folgers at my parents' house, I am not surprised.

<p>

And it was a lot of fun calculating the price per pound for saffron :biggrin: .

<p>

I'll check prices at Trader Joe's, Ralphs, and our local asian market this Sunday when I go shopping. The price differences should be interesting.

bleudauvergne · March 17, 2006

This project is really fun, and a good exercise. The various prices of pasta struck me the most, since I sometimes do choose the fancy ones - they cost nearly 8 times as much as the lowest generic brand.

Is anyone doing a spreadsheet with comparisons?

loiosh · March 17, 2006

Shalmanese is dead on about the limes, btw. I've paid as much as $2 for one lime at times, if you can get them (the Coles and Woolies closest to me don't have them at all). A six pack of Corona to go with your limes will run you about $16.

Rebecca263 · March 17, 2006

At the "Farmer's Market" today: decent looking Florida limes 6 for US$1.00.

I bought them instead of the California lemons, 4 for US$1.00. The lemons looked weird and fake.

Is anyone doing a spreadsheet with comparisons?
←

I have been putting the numbers into Excel for my own comparison purposes (it's very difficult for me to keep track of numbers in my head). It's not a very good spreadsheet, and in some cases I have been unsure of measurements or how to make the data fit; basically I have rows for each category, with all beef together, all bacon together, etc; the columns are for country/currency/measurement; city or region; source (store name and type); USD/unit; local currency/unit; notes (organic, type of beef, type of apple, etc); and the eGullet member name of the person who posted the information.

I am not a statistician or even anyone who uses Excel in a scientific or competent fashion, but if anyone would like a copy I have it. I am also planning to enter information about food cost from other threads as I run across it. Also, if anyone who IS competent has any suggestion for how I might improve my data collection (or a better spreadsheet), please let me know.

Obviously this is a very fascinating topic for me... :blink:

Purplewiz: I was unsuccessful in trying to post information created by using a spreadsheet. Would you provide helpful guidelines for those of us who find the challenge daunting? The presentation of your data is exemplary. Using a Mac and a combination of Microsoft Word and Excel, I am unable to paste my own neat lists and columns onto the board. Thanks!

Thanks very much for your kind words!

What I did was to go to the bottom of the eGullet reply screen under "Post Options" and turn HTML on. I think I used Raw Linebreak mode. Then go to whatever program your data is in and export/save to HTML (Save as Web page). That will give you a file with all the HTML tags.

Open that file you saved with Word, and then go to View -> HTML source. That will show you all the HTML tags. Cut and paste all that HTML into the eGullet reply screen, and your reply should be formatted properly.

You may still have to do some manual editting of the raw HTML to get it to show up properly - I gotta admit, I did all the HTML in mine by hand. I'm kind of old school that way :biggrin: . Thank goodness for the "Preview Post" button!

I hope that made some kind of sense!

>>Your job, should you accept it, is to share with us your own staples shopping >>list and the cost of each item on it.

My job, continually, is to find things that can substitute for a lot of those on your list. If you feel like being patient, I can approximate some of them. I think most US Americans are surprised at how much more things cost elsewhere, and once you know how little people are paid here in Italy, it become even more surprising.

Having spent some time in Italy, I understand this. In my experience, Italians generally refuse to compromise on quality, when it comes to foodstuffs. You may live in small dwellings and drive small cars, but no way will you get produce that's less than high-quality, crappy bologna instead of tasty mortadella, and American "cheese" instead of real aged cheese. And I salute you for that.
