We believe that every shoppe/ is entitled to the best possible food values EVERY day. So we never juggle prices at A&P Never mark a few things down once or twice and make up for it by marking other things up the rest of the week. Instead, we keep ALL prices as low as we can ALL the time. Result? ANY day is a good day to shop and save at A&P.
