It seems Hannaford's is hoping to balance the cost of their new store on the backs of holiday bakers. Has anyone noticed how the cost of their spices has risen recently? Just in time for holiday baking. A friend pointed this out to me today. She went to purchase a small container of ground cloves and found the price to be $7.99. She refused to pay that much and found the same brand and size at Market Basket for $2.99. She priced it at Walmart in Plymouth and it was $3.?? there. Quite a vast difference in price. What an outrageous ripoff! She said the same thing happened last year when the price of nutmeg at Hannaford's went through the roof around the holiday season. It seems this is a yearly gouging on their part. Merry Christmas! I don't believe she checked the price at Shaw's, but perhaps someone on the forum has done so and might give us a report.
