Show Iron County Marketplace The prices below were gathered by the Record staff Sept. 3. The columns list the prices three months ago and the current prices in each of the four Cedar City grocery stores: Albertson's, Keith's Westside, Lin's Thriftway and Safeway (not in any specific order). In most cases the prices for a single item compare one brand consistently in all four stores. Where thai was not possible, a com-parable com-parable brand was substituted. Readers should also be aware that some price fluctuations on individual items are caused by slaes, rather than sharp changes in regular prices. However, the totals in the four stores show generally what is happening with food prices in Iron County. A B C D June Sept. June Sept. June Sept. June Sept.
