SoDu Price Check - Week of June 4, 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 nudged upward this week , with the average SoDu Shopping Basket landing at $67.48.

The familiar pattern holds: value-focused stores keep the lowest totals, while premium grocers can push the same basket dramatically higher, making smart store choice (or a strategic two-stop trip) one of the easiest ways to protect your weekly budget.
