Reply to comment by czo79 in First time in my 15 years in VT that local, farm fresh, cage free eggs are cheaper than local commercial ones. Any one else experiencing this? by ranaparvus

Shaws feels like a scam these days.

Shaw's always felt like a scam. Definitely my least favorite out of shaw's/PC/Hannaford.

Lol, when is it not? Same with Hannaford. I'm no economist and don't know all of the factors, but at this point it feels like we're just being taken advantage of. Market basket is generally better for us but I saw a really sharp uptick in prices this last week. I saw exactly what op was talking about; the cage free eggs were cheaper.

I also read recently the majority of stores in the us are owned by only 3 different parent companies.

Edit 2: shaws is owned by Kroger which explains a bunch.
