as a huge coupon user and frequent grocery shopper, there are many grocery items that are cheaper at walmart than say at kroger. I say kroger cuz that is who we have here. 15 million bars and one main grocery store, go figure! I do shop a lot at kroger due to the double coupon and the sales. But I do shop frequently at walmart for items that either I don't have coupons for or can get a better deal. We have an aldi's and it has so went down hill lately. Couple of examples of prices:
hamburger helper: Kroger 1.89 (on sale) 2.29 regular
Walmart 1.29 (on sale) 1.69 regular
Pepperridge farm frozen bread Kroger 2 - 2.50 , walmart 1.60.
but then you have figure in coupons. Now in the bread situation I had $1 off so the cost was a lot cheaper at walmart. but if it was .50 would have been closer due to the fact that kroger doubles. This week they have had such a great sale that I have shopped at kroger exclusively. However, I don't like the meat at walmart. I have bought it and it just doesn't compare. I also bought bagels once there and I mean the good ones that are like $3 a bag, got them home and pulled one to find on the bottom it was GROWING! ick. took it back of course. But I can say I haven't found that at kroger. possibly higher turn around. or I just got lucky.
