This store is a complete price gouging nightmare. I rarely shop in Piggly Wiggly's because it's just not my taste. I'm not bougie, I'm particular lol. There's only one in the New Orleans region and that's on the Westbank (Westwego). However, I'm here in Prichard, AL, (in the hood) and decided to check out their produce section cuz I love fruit. These folks are seriously taking advantage of my peeps. The prices in Westwego are a heck of a lot better than here.
How can one gallon of Hawaiian Punch (filled with high fructose corn syrup) be $4.99 when at Walmart it's a buck twenty five?? The cheapest styrofoam plates, nowhere near Hefty quality costs $16.73 for 100....it's more like 50 plates unless you're putting bird food on them because you'd have to double them up to keep food from falling off. Apple Jacks cereal $6.99 for a 24 oz box? Are you serious?? A small branch of grapes, $4.71 wrapped up on a small styrofoam lunch plate lol. Baby! Y'all can have this mess.
I honestly hate that this store is taking advantage of poor people and should be closed. They're not here to provide an affordable food supply for these families, they're literally enriching themselves off the poor.
I guess the community knows what's happening up in here, considering it was empty inside with very few customers. I put everything back that I was going to buy (3 containers of strawberries). I was just too disgusted with those insane prices and didn't feel comfortable patronizing this place.
I know people are in business to make money but c'mon, you're up charging over 100% for many of these items and you know that ain't right. read more
