Stop & Shop: Cheese From The Deli 66% More Expensive Than The Same Cheese On The Shelf
Reader J noticed the Cabot cheddar on Stop & Shop’s shelf carries a 66% markup when purchased from the deli department. Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar sells for $4.38 per pound on the shelf, while the exact same cheddar costs $7.29 in the deli department.
The store manager could not explain the price difference, but Cabot could. Cabot’s letter and the big cheese, after the jump…
The cheese on the shelf. Note the price per pound label.
