Also you have to factor in what your time is worth, I’d much rather spend the extra $2 on berries than drive my gas guzzling car 7 minutes, park, and buy half my groceries somewhere else.

On top of that we are probably in the minority for people who can even consider doing that, people who don’t have a vehicle or have kids etc. cannot be spending time driving around to all these different locations, so they will just eat the cost difference every time.

My point of the original post was, things shouldn’t be 20-30% more at these giants which are a few blocks apart from each other. It’s obviously active gouging/price fixing for the sake of profits.

you have a choice not to shop there if there is somewhere a few blocks down the road.
