Listeners have been sharing their frustrations with us on the prices of groceries at the Supermarket - so we've set a challenge to monitor the prices ourselves and report back to you with the results.6PR's has given Anna, a local 6PR Perth listener, the task of shopping for a list of general / mainstream items you would expect to find in the family shopping trolley.We'll buy the same goods, the same brand and same quantity each time. Anna will report back with the prices each 4-6 weeks.On each shopping trip we'll be using the same Perth supermarket.Simon Beaumont and 6PR's Morning Program - looking out for our local consumers and bringing you the best price analysis.
