They are also feeding families which is far different from feeding two retired people.
I will give one small example - we eat Fage Yoghurt. This past week it has been on sale at Publix for 5 for $6.00. I purchased it in Merrimack last week for $1.99 per piece. Huge difference in price. On the other hand, they buy the store brand which is much cheaper than buying Fage. So it probably works out the same in the long run.

Except for the difference in quality! Nothing compares to Fage, and it's one of the few Greek yoghurts that is still made the traditional way, taking the time to drain it.
However, at the rate our two sons went through yoghurt growing up, I'd go with the store brand too! Feeding teenage boys is not cheap. They have empty legs.
