But yeah like Lauri101 I don't buy alot of frozen food and I do buy store brand for simple items.

So SuperChris, are there any other stores in Yukon besides Homeland and Walmart? I don't know much of what is out there (I do remember passing the Albertson's when I used to do fieldwork out there - assuming that is the Homeland you went to). Just curious. Glad you had fun doing the comparison though!

I'm thinking I might post one of these in a bit (I'll be away for a month on business though, I'll do it in May sometime). I would like to make a list of the items I buy, a price comparison, a quality description if one is valid, etc. I think I am going to compare Walmart, Super Target, Crest, and Homeland.

***My hypothesis is, I bet if you look at fresh foods mostly (produce, dairy, meats/fish), the prices won't be that different***
The Homeland I went to is the old Albertson's. We have a Buy For Less also, but it's worse than going to Wal-Mart.

Lauri, the Homeland Brands are good quality. When we need something quick, if the Homeland Brand is available, we get it.

Like I said before, you do have to watch Homeland's sales. They will run some specials that are excellent! I should note that we buy Potatoes at Homeland. The quality, and price is much better than Wal-Mart for a 5-10lb bag. I did not list out things that we buy at Homeland as opposed to Wal-Mart such as Potatoes, and meat. That may be a list for another week. I need to take our Homeland receipt into Wal-Mart.
