Show Iron County Marketplace The prices below were gathered by The Record Staff, Dec. 10. The columns list the prices three months ago and the current prices in each of the four 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 that was not possible, a comparable com-parable brand was substituted. Readers should also be aware that some price fluctuations on individual items are caused by sales, 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 Sept. Dec. Sept. Dec. Sept. Dec. Sept. Dec.
