Nugget Markets - "Price Challenge"

"Price Challenge"

Because of the breadth and quality of merchandise they carry in their stores, there is the perception that Nugget is expensive and overpriced. The company has attempted to tackle this problem through their "Since 1926 Price Challenge". All guests (customers) are invited to pick up blank price-comparison survey forms at the stores, which let them survey prices on 25 items of their own choosing at Nugget and at one conventional competitor (such as Raley's, Bel Air or Safeway). Whether Nugget wins or loses, every properly completed survey is entered into a monthly drawing for a $1,000 Nugget Markets Gift Card. Nugget claims to win at least 80% of item-to-item price comparisons with other full-service markets.

Nugget also publicizes its own internal team of price checkers who weekly go to competitors to check their prices. All Nugget-brand stores have a "Price Challenge Scoreboard", designed to resemble a baseball scoreboard, with a tally of wins and losses against their competitors.

Famous quotes containing the words price and/or challenge:

    If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    ...Women’s Studies can amount simply to compensatory history; too often they fail to challenge the intellectual and political structures that must be challenged if women as a group are ever to come into collective, nonexclusionary freedom.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
