$12 Saved is $12 Earned - Grocery Price Wars

With money getting tighter and prices at the local Grocery Stores rising I've been doing a price search on grocery items we use frequently.I shopped and priced at three different grocery stores, Walmart, Kroger, and Meijer. I priced over 40 items and narrowed that down to varied selection of 15 items for the price comparison.The items ranged from Bigelow Tea, Ronzoni Pasta, to Tide Detergent. I'll provide a list of the 15 at the bottom of the post. The totals were really shocking and I will be changing my shopping habits from now on. These prices may vary in different areas or depending on sale items. The totals from the three were:

Walmart - $43.80, Kroger $55.85, Meijer - $50.69

Each store had various items cheaper than the other stores and all three had excellent selections, one was poorly stocked and that was 10:30 am. There are certain items that I will continue to purchase from Kroger like Ground Bison and Bison Sirloin and certain Kroger baked items and Meijer Aunt Millie's Bread products (best prices), and Meijer Seafood Department for their selection and prices. Overall I'll be doing my shopping at Walmart, their prices can't be beat right now. Like I said prices may vary in different areas and items on sale. Below is a list of the 15 items, shop smart!
