confirms what I've always thought from empirical shopping evidence. Co-op is about the same or cheaper than Safeway plus you get back a few percent at the end of the year, which I find them to be almost identical for quality too.

This is a rigged. When the weekly reporting is done for this, Coop knows what day and what items will be on 'random' selection of groceries. So they purposely put the items on sale for that day.

Edit - This is for produce only. I cannot comment on other competitors, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all do it.
