When it comes to weekly grocery runs, Manchester residents have plenty of options. From the deep aisles of a downtown staple to discount chains promising rock-bottom prices, choosing where to shop can be tricky. Especially now, with prices rising and many folks walking away from big-box chains in favor of supporting local, choosing where to shop has become more critical. With consumer habits shifting, we’d like to know where you buy.

That’s why we’ve created the survey below for Manchester locals: to see how inflation is affecting purchasing and how local shoppers put their dollars and sense together. We understand the competition in the grocery space is strong. Traditional supermarkets face competition not only from each other but also from club stores, big-box retailers, convenience formats, and local hubs.
