City-run grocery stores to cut prices on essentials by 30% every month

A city official announced a new monthly pricing policy for five city-run grocery stores. Essential staples including fresh produce, meat, seafood, cheese, milk and bread will be sold at 30 percent below typical retail prices. The discount remains fixed for the full month, eliminating weekly price swings for customers. The measure targets residents on fixed incomes such as seniors and families with young children.
