Survey of Grocery Store Pricing in Ithaca New York, 1989

<p>These data contain information from a survey conducted in 1989 by David Margolis. Margolis collected price information for twenty categories of goods in five super-markets in Ithaca, NY over a three week period (March 3-March 23, 1989). The dataset includes the price, the size, if the size is in ounces or not, if the item was a brand name or not, and super-market for one or more items in each category. The five super-markets selected were all of the super-markets within the Ithaca area (East Hill, West Ithaca, and Triphammer). Criterion for establishing a brand name was: Is the product a national brand, and if most of the products were national brands, does the product have an advertising campaign to promote it or other products associated with it.</p>
