Market Basket is a low-priced major supermarket chain, but is still more expensive than several discount outlets in Massachusetts, according to a survey.

The Boston Globe reports Edgar Dworsky, who runs the site ConsumerWorld.org, sampled a small number of Boston-area supermarkets and found that prices for selected goods at Market Basket had increased 9 percent since his survey a year ago.

Much of that increase is attributed to the elimination of a 4 percent automatic discount Market Basket had run at its store for nearly a year.
