[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 86713, member: 3485"] Different chain but maybe the same thing going on -- a friend of mine who is a groc. store department manager told me they have a four-tiered pricing structure depending on the distance to and prices at the nearest competitor. The store in our town was the only one in a largish area and has/had very high prices (we still often drive 5 or 10 extra miles for the "main" shopping). Then a Target opened up down the street, selling a lot of grocery stuff at slightly less. The prices weren't cut at the high-priced place but the price gap has narrowed, which tells me they are deferring price hikes in order to bring themselves closer in line now that they have competition.
