Big price differences within the same chain
King Soopers and King Soopers Marketplace sell many of the same items, but prices vary sharply. Here's how the same products compare:
| Product | King Soopers | King Soopers Marketplace |
|---|---|---|
| Unsalted Butter Sticks | $3.79 (16 oz pack) | $7.29 (8 oz pack) |
| Butter Salted Sticks | $3.79 (16 oz pack) | $7.29 (8 oz pack) |
| Eggland's Best Cage Free Eggs | $2.79 (sale, reg. $5.49) | $4.99 |
| Fresh On The Vine Red Tomatoes | $2.29/lb | $3.29/lb |
| Simple Truth Organic Applesauce | $3.49 | $5.00 |
Where to shop for the best deals
For butter, eggs, tomatoes, and applesauce, the regular King Soopers beats the Marketplace — though the butter savings come partly from a larger pack size. The standout deal right now is the Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Thighs sale at Safeway at $2.49/lb — well under the $6.99/lb regular price at every King Soopers in town.
Bottom Line
Save money by shopping at the standard King Soopers, not King Soopers Marketplace. For chicken thighs, Safeway's sale price is the best in town right now — but don't assume it'll last. Compare prices on butter, eggs, and applesauce every trip, and watch pack sizes since King Soopers often sells these items in larger packs.
