Grocery Prices: Name Brand vs. Store Brand vs. Organic
By on Mar 10, 2010 with Comments 2
Here are the results of a recent study by industry research firm IBISWorld that compared the price of an average grocery cart in Los Angeles, new York City, and Chicago.
In general, organic products cost about 20% more than simply name brand items. However, the organic grocery cart is nearly 40% more expensive than a cart filled with store-branded products whenever possible. I wish there was more information on what makes up an “average” grocery cart, but I’m guessing it contains a wide variety of items.
Which reminds me of a previous post on which fruits and vegetables you should buy organic. if you value organic but are still on a budget, certain conventionally-grown vegetables retain much higher amounts of pesticides than others. Prioritize your spending with this updated list from Foodnews.org (you can even download an iPhone app with the chart):
