NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled the pricing model for his planned five municipal grocery stores, promising a 30% discount on a core basket of essentials.
The basket covers all fresh produce, meat, seafood, eggs, milk, chicken, bread, rice, and dairy — and the discount applies to every shopper, with no income test required.
Prices will be locked monthly to keep them predictable, with projected savings of about $90 a month per household.
