Pricing Studies
There have been numerous studies that have compared the prices of stores with "loyalty" programs with non-card stores,
with the consistent, clear winner being the card-free markets. Each of the three studies below
highlights a different aspect of card programs, and their cost to consumers.
Kroger Sale Prices Examined We compared Kroger sale prices before and after the "Plus" card arrived in Indiana in 2000.
Not surprisingly, we found that discounts were deeper before the card. You can also take a look at the
e-mails we've received about Kroger's non-existent savings.
Miles of Aisles, part II In this study Zelda Gordon examines prices at 4 stores in New Mexico over a 30 month period.
The most interesting finding shows that Albertsons, (who was quietly rolling out card programs throughout the country
but did not yet have one in New Mexico), experienced a remarkable 25.84% increase in price, far exceeding the .78% increase
of her local card free store and the Consumer Price Index factor of 1.07383.
"Everyday" high prices
Card stores like to point out the "savings" their programs offer by printing the amount at the bottom of the receipt. However,
because few people purchase nothing but sale items, the true test of a grocers value is in the everyday prices. Our study shows
card store "everyday" prices from 28% to 71% higher, which means that not only is every non-sale item you place in your cart
costing you dearly, but that the "savings" they are so fond of pointing out to you are grossly inflated.
For additional price studies see our page on pricing issues.
