4 Percent Discount Market Basket ends with 2014

The 4 percent discount that Market Basket initiated at the start of the year 2014 in January is coming to a close with the current year. Market Basket shoppers cherished this discount as it was available on most of their purchases.

Market Basket is a super market store and the 4 percent discount it offers within New England was particularly in response to high energy costs and cut backs in Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Customers are still hopeful that the discount would continue into the next year as well, while the company plans to phase out the discount service by the last Saturday of 2014. But, loyal customers still argue that the supermarket chain that has more than 70 stores in New England still offers the best prices than many competitors.

About Cliff Jenkins Scott

Cliff likes to describe himself as made for the hard road. Freelancing is taking off across the world. And yet, valuable opportunities are hard to find he thinks, particularly when it comes to writing. After graduating with an MA degree in Communication as a major and Technology and Writing as minors, Cliff decided to give his own website hosting creative writing a boost and engage in an overwhelming number of projects, all of them focused on writing. He didn’t look for a quick burnout, but his eagerness to learn as much as possible as rapidly as possible kept him going.
