Hi, {{first__name | reader}},
One store hiked prices 35% from August to September while another slashed theirs by 23%. Eggs doubled at one store while dropping by half at another. Welcome to September's grocery chaos in Portland.
This is The Portland Price Tracker, a data-driven monthly report on what it actually costs to buy groceries here. I record the prices of the same 20 essential items at the same stores each month, tracking the real shelf prices to find the best deals and expose how prices change over time.
The full breakdown of all 19 stores, including the item-by-item price data, is exclusively for Savers Club members. This reader-supported project takes dozens of hours each month to produce — from driving to stores to analyzing the data. Your membership not only grants you access to this report (which could save you more than the cost of a subscription on your very next shopping trip) but also sustains the free newsletter for everyone. Become a member today to get the full story and all the data you need to save money in Portland.
