A weekly menu for a family of four varies in cost across stores in Dalarna. SVT Nyheter Dalarna's measurement shows that store choice can save over 4000 kronor annually.
SVT Nyheter Dalarna compared prices on 40 common groceries across four stores during week 15. The stores included Stora Coop in Ludvika, Ica Maxi in Borlänge, Hemköp in Malung and Ica Supermarket in Lindvallen in Sälen.
The gap between the cheapest and most expensive weekly basket was just over 70 kronor. Over a year this adds up to around 4000 kronor in savings for the same menu.
The menu featured seven dinners such as lentil soup, pizza and falukorv with mash. It was based on items from the Swedish Consumer Agency's meal plan and adjusted for a family of two adults and two children.
