Yeah they charge more, have less variety, and have fewer sales (discounts). A friend of mine did a (unpublished for an undergraduate course) study on it and the differences between stores even a half mile away are just crazy.

“Grocery stores”
Buddy of mine is going through a divorce. Wife crashed his car the day she told him about her affair. Selling their house now, he’s in it (carless) and going through a divorce.
The choices for grocery shopping in less than an hour walk from his house are a Family Dollar and a Cumberland Farms (a gas station).
How the fuck can people be healthy on that?
