BusinessDay visited four grocery giants- Shoprite, Spar, Prince Ebeano and Grocery Bazaar, in Lagos metropolis to track prices and see which store offer consumers the cheapest prices.
Although all the stores had good deals, Grocery Bazaar had the cheapest prices on more items, and consumers can benefit from this.
The table shows that as at June 19, 2018, the price of 400g of Peak milk at Shoprite was N1,299.99 as against N1,230 sold at SPAR, N1,200 at Prince Ebeano supermarket, and N1,200 at Grocery Bazaar on that same day.
Also a 500g tin of Quaker oat within the same period at Shoprite was N849.99, N910 at SPAR, N730 at Prince Ebeano, and N700 at Grocery Bazaar.
Likewise, 415g of Heinz beans went for N399.99 at Shoprite, N410 at SPAR, N380 at Prince Ebeano, and N355 at Grocery Bazaar.
A tin of 125g of Titus sardine stood at N239.99 at Shoprite, N240 at SPAR, N230 at Prince Ebeano, and N240 at Grocery Bazaar.
Similarly, a tin of 500g of Bournvita was sold for N1,299.99 at Shoprite, N 1,115 at SPAR, N 1,120 at Prince Ebeano, and N1,150 at Grocery Bazaar.
Grocery Bazaar ended up being more affordable for five out of the 15 items surveyed and the prices were tied for two more. Prince Ebeano emerged the second with four lowest prices followed by SPAR, and Shoprite.
