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 overall this week, with the average basket barely changed at $66.82. Aldi ($51.59) is the lowest total this week, followed by Walmart ($53.90) and Food Lion ($55.67). Fresh Market ($100.19) is the most expensive.
