Putting Hannaford's Claims to the Test

A few weeks ago, Hannaford said in their lobby that they have lower prices than their local competitors. On Valentine's Day, we checked to see if their claims were accurate.

A few weeks ago, Hannaford said in their lobby that they have lower prices than their local competitors.

On Valentine's Day, we checked to see if their claims were accurate. A few weeks ago, there was a sign in the lobby of Hannaford in Chelmsford indicating five items where their price was less than their nearby competitors.

That sign was gone as of Valentine's Day, so we decided to double check prices on those items at all six stores we normally frequent in the Westford/Chelmsford area.
