Does any one know of a website that compares the prices at several grocery stores in a certain area ( maybe by zip code)? I would like to compare the everyday prices at say 3 grocery stores in my area. I found a website based in England that does it, but nothing for the US.

:thanks7:

well, it would take some time, but you could make a list of the stores you have in your city. Keep your receipts and use Excel spreadsheet to create a list of food items in alphabetical order and their price at each store. Slowly you'll get a list of all the items that you frequently buy. When I have a coupon for a certain item, or see a good sale on a particular item I go to the website of each of my stores to see if they have a better deal on the same item. Ex: We have Lowes Foods, Bloom, Harris Teeter, Bi-Lo, and Food Lion. The regular price of most items is very close to being the same as other stores. It's the sales where one store stands out.
Ex: This week two of our store chains have the Marie Callendar on sale 4 for $10. So, if I have a coupon, which store's regular price is not important at all.
So, is you question based on prices of items where you will NOT have coupons?
I think overall, prices at each store are very close to the same as other stores.
Everyone's milk is close to $4 a gallon. But sales we get it for $1.99 or $2.49.

mygrocerydeals.com USED to and although you can still select the function to shop in your area by category of product, it only displays 1 store at a time. I deleted my account because of this, I had an early account, when they were beta testing and made several comments re mislabeled pics, etc. on the site. If you find a new one, please let me know!

I'm almost ready to get DH (a computer pro) to build me one as I find this so frustrating!!!
