A Fine Price
The sluggish economy is keeping price the preeminent food purchasing criteria for many consumers.

A study by New York-based The Nielsen Co., for instance, found that 78 percent of shoppers look at unit prices to compare products on most or some trips to the supermarket.

The September Nielsen online Homescan survey of 58,000 U.S. households also revealed that 72 percent of respondents access store circulars on most or some trips, and 67 percent use coupons on most or some shopping excursions.

As our cover story on Wegmans Food Markets Inc. illustrates, more retailers are maneuvering to attract those budget-conscious customers. Wegmans is heavily merchandising meat value packs and prepared food meal deals.

Such deals are important as they enable supermarkets to better compete with other grocery outlets and quick service restaurants for consumers seeking convenient and economical meals, notes Sherry Frey, vice president of The Perishables Group, a Chicago-based marketing and consulting firm that focuses on the fresh sectors.
