Beer: 5.59

I had no idea what to expect, since I can't remember the last time I bought any of these things. I have no idea why the milk is so pricy!

Like Chris (comment #16), I went to the Red Hook, Brooklyn Fairway today. I got different prices though. (It IS a large and complicated store layout..maybe designed to confuse? I found european specialty beers, cold beers and room temperature beers in three completely different parts of the store.)

1 Quart of whole milk - $2.15

1 head of iceberg lettuce - $1.89

6 pack Bud in bottles - $5.49

We both seem to have found the same iceberg lettuce, clearly advertised with a sign above it. I saw a whole range of milk at $2.15 and the $5.49 beers were room temperature and near the registers, aisle 1.

Fairway in Red Hook, Brooklyn

480-500 Van Brunt St.

I wasn't really surprised by the prices, more concerned that I got different results than someone else in the the same store on the same day!

Fun project, though.

Smile Deli

Lettuce 1.59

Beer...no price listed

Jin's Deli

West of Fort Washington

( walking towards Cabrini Blvd )

Milk 1.39

Lettuce 1.99

Beer...no price listed

Jin's being more expensive did not surprise me because as you head west from the subway, a more affluent set resides. Jin's though, is also cleaner, friendlier, fresher, and always has someone speaking English at the counter.

milk $1.49

lettuce $.79

beer $4.99

Found at:

Kroger (standard suburban-style supermarket)

Columbus, OH (43215)

beer: $6.99

D'Agostino - University Place between 10th & 11th

Milk: $1.39

Lettuce: $1.69

I was surprised by the prices, I thought that the lettuce would be 99 cents and that the milk would be more expensive.

Iceberg lettuce 1.49

6 pack Budweiser in bottles: 9.50

1 qt. regular milk 1.59

surprised about the beer, esp. when comparing with others so far

milk $1.20

C-Town

Park Slope 9th st.

I visited 2 stores, 1 in Kingsbridge (near work) & 1 near home (Upper W Side).

Kingsbridge: Pioneer Supermarket/Caribe Deli (different entrances at same address), 125 W, Kingsbridge Rd., Bronx.

Milk $1.19; lettuce $1.29 (that was the posted price; however, when asked, the cashier told me $1.49); beer (available only at Caribe) $6.00.

Upper West Side: Fairway, 2127 Broadway @ 74th St. Milk $1.09; lettuce $1.89; beer $5.79.

For me, the only surprise was that the price for lettuce was higher at Fairway.

@ Morton Williams Supermarket, 2941 Broadway at 115th Street:

Lettuce: $1.89

Milk: $1.29

Beer: $5.99

This store caters mostly to the Columbia University community. The lettuce seemed a bit steep to me, but the milk and beer were what I expected.

Key Foods, general supermarket, Westchester Avenue near terminus of #6 line, Pelham Bay, Bronx

Milk....$1.20

Budweiser Beer.....$5.29

Iceberg Lettuce....$1.99

These prices from:

ShopRite of Nutley

Nutley, NJ 07110

(It's a REALLY big supermarket, biggest in the area.)

I was surprised that regular milk could be that cheap, I usually buy organic.

Key Food (a medium sized chain supermarket) at the corner of 235th St. and Oxford Ave.

1 Qt. Whol Milk $1.29

6-Pack Budweiser Beer, 12oz.bottles$5.69

I was surprised that this store, which I always assumed to be way more expensive than most - was actually in the range of most others around...although they definitely are more expensive on other items, and they always have shabby veggies. Met Foods on 3d Ave. and 17th is always more reasonable and fresher.

after buying organic for so long,

almost made me want to switch back.

I'm a 37 yr old male college student. Things are tight, no doubt. I have to ask the question: When a local business, for example,

asks the customer for three dollars for a doughnut.. a doughnut.. people, why is it that

people just pay it.. and of course give a dollar tip on top of that.. it's just a doughnut people.. only $3,000 a month for a studio apartment??.why let me give you $4000.

What I'm saying if we, collectively, refuse to pay it; then perhaps we won't keep being asked to pay such insane prices. It's up to us to create our own change.

Peace,

Mark Hardison

both from Montclair Pathmark Supermarket Bloomfield Avenue at Grove Street.

Surprised - Somewhat when compared the prices to some of the other listings here. Expected it to be cheaper than Whole Foods, for example. But this bodega is at a major intersection in the East Village, so no real bewilderment here.

quart of milk--$1.15

iceberg lettuce--$1.69

no Budweiser beer at this store! (many other kinds, though...)

West Side Market

Broadway and 110th Street

Not surprised, as I shop here frequently and find the prices fair (although I NEVER buy iceberg lettuce!).

Bud: 5.49

lettuce: 1.59

in general I thought these prices were high - but not when I looked at others.

Food Emporium on Quaker Ridge Road New Rochelle

Milk...$1.20

The price of iceberg lettuce surprised me. I remember when it was 49 cents and overpriced at that.

Milk - $1.59

Iceberg Lettuce - $1.79

6-pk. Bud bottles - $5.99

Trumbull Super Stop & Shop

Trumbull, CT

National supermaret chain

Surprised - thought I'd get better prices than smaller markets and delis in the city. These are comparable and, sometimes, higher. Disappointing.

Shim Si grocery - Korean deli 524 Columbus bet 85-86

milk $1.89

lettuce $1.99

beer $7.00

surprised? Yes, since I don't buy iceberg lettuce or beer, and only buy organic milk.

At Livingston Shop-Rite, Livingston, NJ:

1 quart whole milk: $1.35

same for low fat.

1/2 gallon of both: $2.69

Neighborhood: Upper East Side

Gristedes, East End Ave at 81st St., a small supermarket

Whole Milk: $1.59/qt

Food Emporium

Madison 87/88sts.

Food Emporium on Broadway and 90th Street

I was surprised by the milk. I feel like it was just $1.03

Fairway, 125th off Henry Hudson Pkwy.

1 Qt Whole Milk $1.09

Iceberg Lettuce $1.89

Budweiser 12oz. bottles (18 Pack) $14.99

(didn't have 6-packs)

Was surprised to find prices lower than at my neighborhood supermarket (which I checked out the day before). A checkout clerk told me that Firway's milk is the cheapest in the city.

milk - 1.50

lettuce - 2.29

bud beer - 10.99

D'agastino on Lexington b'twn 35th st. & 36th st

I was shocked.

Then went to my local Gourmet Garage on the corner or Mercer & Broome in Soho

1 milk 1.29

1 ice lettuce 1.50

beer - no bud but premium beer starts at 10.99

@ Associated, on 5th Ave. btw Union St. and President St. in Park Slope:

- 1 qt milk = 1.19

- 1 head iceberg lettuce = 1.69

- no beer sold here

I buy just about everything but my produce (and beer) here. I'm surprised the iceberg lettuce costs so much, and I'm surprised how much the cost of milk has gone up. It can't have been too long ago (within the past year?) that I was buying 1 qt milk at Associated for 85 cents.

Price for a six pack of Bud in cans:

6 X $6.75 = $40.50 !

This is at Shea Stadium. At least they open it for you.

Surprised? Not if the Bullpen is strong. Lately though the price is getting a bit surprising, yes.

As much as I would like to state that there maybe price gouging I am also forced to state that depending on the location one is likely to find that the Retail outlets pay different rents. Thus the costs to the Retailer are going to be different and thus I am not sure if there is a fairness in stating that it is price gouging.

This is from a Shop Rite in Bound Brook NJ.

Recently, I was shocked to find a price difference of $0.70 in a gallon of milk sold there and at a Shop Rite in Hillsborough, 15 minutes away.

I shop three different places:

Whole Food in Chelsea

CVS on 25th & 6th

Fresh Direct (internet)

These three prices are from Fresh Direct:

Whole Milk = $1.19

Iceberg Lettuce = $1.99

Budweiser Beer/6 pack = $6.49

I however routinely buy enriched non fat milk, more expensive types of lettuce, and non-domestic beer.

I was not surprised by the Fresh Direct prices.

Food Emporium, Greenwich St, Tribeca

Milk - $1.20

Iceberg Lettuce - $2.49

6 pack Bud - $6.49

I'm not surprised that the food emporium is right up there for high prices (except for milk, which seems low, as it should be, since it goes bad about three days after you buy it).
