Talk About Comparison Shopping

If you've ever wondered how what you're paying at the supermarket (or not-so-supermarket) that you frequent for those fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. (including chocolate!) compares with the prices people living in other cities in the U.S., then I've got a site for you.

The Global Grocery List Project invites students to submit prices for a wide range of edibles from the stores in their area. These prices are recorded by city & state. You pick the food item(s) you're interested in comparing, and up pops a list of places and prices.

It's quite fascinating!
