SoDu Price Check - Week of April 9, 2026

Where can you stretch your grocery dollars the furthest in South Durham this week? We priced 17 everyday items - from eggs and milk to meat, pasta, and toilet paper - at nine major grocery stores serving the SoDu area.

This week’s SoDu Shopping Basket shows grocery prices are steady-to-slightly higher this week, with the average basket at $65.87. Aldi ($50.92) narrowly holds the lowest total again, with Walmart ($53.28) and Food Lion ($54.31) close behind. Fresh Market ($90.69) remains the most expensive overall.
