They should conduct "matched pairs t-test"

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the data are blocked by the grocery items and thus we need to test whether there is a significant mean difference between two sets of paired data by defining the paired difference and also defining the hypothesis. Thus, the test i will recommend that suits this purpose is the "matched pairs t-test"
