Sep 23, 2009 12:10 PM

EDH guest Mary Smart participates in Nugget’s price survey and wins September’s drawing for a $1,000 Nugget gift card  

El Dorado Hills, CA - Recent retiree Mary Smart participated in the Nugget Market Price Survey and ended up winning a $1,000 Nugget gift card in Nugget Market’s monthly drawing. Every month, Nugget Market holds the gift card drawing for all guests who have participated in the price survey. All guests are invited to take the survey, whereby the guest compares the prices of 25 commonly purchased items to those prices offered by Nugget’s competitors (Raley’s, Bel Air, and Safeway). Consistently, Nugget Market beats the competition 8 out of 10 times. Price survey results are posted in each Nugget Market.

“I am newly retired and have a fixed budget. I had been counseled that Nugget would not be in my budget. Every survey proves them wrong. I continue to tell my friends about the low prices, the people, cleanliness, and beauty of the store,” says Mary Smart. On September 6, Ms. Smart took the survey and compared Nugget Market’s prices to Raley’s prices, and Nugget Market won the survey with a savings of $4.91.

“When I met Mary after the drawing, I was impressed with her knowledge of prices,” says Store Director Randy Wehman. “Being on a retirement income, she really recognized that shopping with us is a win-win for her and for us. It’s a true pleasure to serve Mary and all our guests while consistently providing a pleasant shopping experience and great prices.”

For more information about participating in the Nugget Market Price Survey and the monthly $1,000 Nugget Market gift card drawing, please visit www.nuggetmarket.com or stop by any Nugget Market and ask an associate for details.
