Where's the song? 
"It always pay to shop..at McKay's
Where quality is discount every daaaay.."
Is that the one ya'll are talking about?
"For you and your family
We giiiive you this guarantee
It always pays to shop...at McKays!"
Man, I haven't heard that song in over 5 years but I still remember it - how's that for some advertising?

I've always thought it would sound best delivered by a bad lounge singer, complete with a velvet dinner jacket and bad toupe. "Thank you, thank you very much."

Been to the one in Wildewood for bread, milk, eggs . . .
Noticed that they were very expensive. Hadn't been that pronounced at the Great Mills store.

The MaKay's in Wildwood will probably be more expensive for the simple reason they are in a convient location and the only store near by so why not gouge the folks who don't want to go a couple miles further.
You have to watch what you buy. I go to the one in Charlotte Hall for their deli, fresh vegtables, meats and breads, they sock you on everything else. I go to the Food lion for all can goods, frozen items, and cleaning supplies.

How many people actually shop based on convenience, or whether their can of beans are 10 cents cheaper at another place?
I imagine that if you factor the value of your time, the amount you save is more than offset by the time spent driving and shopping at another store. So, if you earn $30K per year, then after salary, benefits, etc, your time on average is worth $20 per hour. That's a lot of nickels, dimes and quarters for the extra hour required to shop at Giant. (This is presuming that both stores have the same product, and you're shopping and choosing based solely on price.) For me, I go to McKays and another grocery store, because each store has a different preferred brand of food that I buy regularly. If McKays had both, I'd skip Food Lion or Giant when I run out of the other product, and buy everything at the local company.
Of course, grocery shopping can be a hobby for people who don't work and old people, but as someone who fits into neither category, I prefer convenience over price any day of the week.
