Hannafords in Meredith

old coot · 05-30-2009, 12:28 AM

I do my weekly shopping at the Hanford store in Alton. It's a nice store and on many items its prices are a good deal lower than they are at the Hannaford store in Ossipee.
While the Ossipee store and the Alton store are about the same distance from my home, the Ossipee store is an easier drive. Therefore, I complained about this price discrepancy at the customer service desk in the Ossipee store. An employee there told me that the Hannaford's in Ossipee and North Conway have the highest prices in the chain!
I figured with a little more complaining, I'd compel them to raise their prices in Alton! Since then I've continued to quietly shop the Alton store.

Baby back ribs were $5.99 at Hannafords......$2.99 at Sam's Club......I know they are different operations,but twice the price?

All I ever hear is that the profits in the supermarket business are so small that it's almost impossible to make money running them.....yet I see mark-ups of over 100% on many items from store to store ? And Shaw's, lol, forgetaboutit ! I no longer buy into the fiction that has been sold about this business.

I am not pro Hanneford's but it doesn't matter whether they charge more than Sam's club for ribs as people have a choice as to whether they want to drive to tilton to go to MB or Sam's club . I will still go to MB for big shops but it is nice to have a reasonable alternative to Jackson's which was rip off

Sounds a bit like the gas price thread.....

They will make the money on the summer folk and love it. Then come winter they will be hurting again....Then again people will shop there rather than drive farther in the snow. Then again gas prices will be $4.00 a gallon by winter so we won't be able to afford food anymore and we will be looking for the cheapest gas stations and food stores....Sigh!

Noticed NO police this weekend at the intersection of the parking lot.....
That was short lived.

Not that it matters and I hear you but that price is per pound. If you were having a gathering and needed a bunch of Ribs say 10 LBS (not unrealistic for a cookout) then your looking at 30.00. That's where BJ's saves you money, their not a daily shopping stop for most people.

I have in hand a Meredith Hannaford flier for the week of 7/12-18 because I am making out my weekly shopping list. I took a look on line to see what the flier for the Gilford store looked like. Just a quick look at the items I am interested in purchasing shows some differences. On the following list, the first price is from the Meredith flier, the second is from the Gilford on line flier

American cheese 3.99/1.99
asparagus 2.49/1.99
romaine hearts 2.49/1.99
grape tomatoes 1.99/1.29
cantaloupe 1.99/1.29
summer squash 1.29/.89
green peppers 1.29/.99
European cucumbers 1.69/.99
russet potatoes .89/.79

In just this short list the savings for shopping the Gilford market would be $5.90. Guess where I'm shopping.

That is quite a difference! Thanks for posting this, eye opening to say the least.

I'll stick to Heath's. The mere 1.1 mile I have to drive to get there along with all of the familiar faces I've known for years, great meats, and local produce means I need no price comparisons, that is where I shop.
