We may be moving up to Parker and I’ve heard groceries are more expensive up there. But I don’t know why exactly because the circulars are the same for the whole region correct? I shop mainly at Kings Soopers and Sprouts so I was wondering if they charge tax on food up there or something to make it more?

I know a few of you have mentioned price differences between stores in the same chain but it’s been awhile.  If you are in the Denver area, have you found that the chains have different sales or prices depending on where they are located?
