Out here at least it seems to be the norm sadly. I’ve tried shopping around , all I did was waste gas , of course there are slight differences but not enough to do much especially when they are at the exact opposite ends of town. And the only deals are the frozen , processed crap. Good luck going to the butcher over here 
27$ per decent steak 
, but I did find chicken breasts on sale. Wish I still lived on a farm
