I think an exact wiki with hundreds of items will get the message across, not a receipt here or there. Who is starting it?

I should have taken a pic. The other day I saw a herring container there that was fermenting and the whole lid and bottom were puffed out. It was practically round and ready to explode.
Pics are welcome on the new wiki thread

There is a program called Moadim L'simcha that provides groceries at literally cost price before Pesach and Sukkos. It is distributed at the stadium parking lot.

Unfortunately, a few years back the store owners complained that it's taking away from their parnassa and inhibiting their ability to charge whatever they want so the list of people 'allowed' to shop at Moadim L'simcha has been severely limited.
And the sad thing is that a nice amount of the items for sale through moadim lesimcha, you can get in KRM in brooklyn for the same price or cheaper.

It would be nice if a wiki or spreadsheet would go viral. It would keep prices in check in this town. Lets say, KRM or Gourmet Glatt come to town and are more expensive than their own prices in BP, we will protest that, since we will show them their BP Prices. So they will need to lower their prices, and then NPGS will need to match, and then we will have $ in our pockets.

While I agree with most of the above, someone on TLS had a decent point.
We, in Lakewood, have Wal-Mart and Target etc where we buy detergent, soda, etc. In Brooklyn they might buy that high margin stuff in KRM.
This obviously doesn't answer the entire question, just some food for thought...

Maybe you have some inside information that I do not have.  But, isn't possible to be dan lkaf zchus that their profit margins are acceptable for the grocery industry?  Maybe there is some (uknown, at least to us) factor, that is causing the higher prices here?

If we make a price wiki, they will be forced to respond. If there is a unknown factor then by all means, it will cause them to respond and explain themselves.

I'm not sure I agree.  You show them the price differences between BP and here.  If 1) it is beyond their control, or 2) there is collusion between all groceries here to keep prices high...
Why will showing them the difference force them to respond?  Their customers are not going anywhere.

Public revolt ;)
Remember the cottage cheese protests in Israel. It causes awareness and it gets results.
If we start a wiki, we can get a good idea on most items if we are indeed paying so much more or not.

Relax, next time people are in groceries they will/might report a couple of items (name/size) pricing. The prices are not running anywhere!

Someone on TLS also answered that the higher prices on dry items in our local stores are the cause for us to go to other stores for them.
Brooklyn also has a Target/Shoprite and numerous stores where those items are as cheap as Walmart. People would rather not double shop, and even if groceries had their dry stuff just a little more then the other stores, most would buy them there while shopping to save time, however the local restrictive overpricing causes us to double shop.

Deal Guy's idea is brilliant.

I think the most efficient way would be for someone to make a spreadsheet on google docs and give permission by request only. (you don't want ZR to just press ctrl+a and delete;-)

To much work + privacy breach (people see email addresses) to put into google. Lets start with a wiki and you can convert it later.
