Walmart vs Kroger - The Price War, Not Really a War!

I had went to Walmart the other day and purchased 26 items. I had saved the receipt because I wanted to

compare prices on a few of the items and see who had the best prices. I had thought it would be Walmart, I just didn't think it would be as big as difference as it was! I usually buy my so called inside aisle items at Walmart and Seafood, Fruits, and Vegetables at Kroger along with a few other items. I always look for coupons and in store sales at both stores. I also go to Meijer and a local market here around the West Chester area Jungle Jim's. I compared 11 items between Walmart and Kroger and here's what I found!



Campbell's Slow Kettle Portobello Mushroom and Madeira Bisque - Walmart $3.48, Kroger $3.89 - Save .41 at Walmart

Chopped Walnuts (Huge Saving!) - Walmart  $4.18, Kroger $5.59 Save $2.41  at Walmart

Just from these 11 random items that I purchase from time to time I saved $5.57. I checked other items at Kroger like Tide, Bounce, Glade Candles and I didn't have the Walmart price but I know from purchasing quite often a huge savings at Walmart. Overall, stay out of the middle aisles at Kroger. in fact if you can find fresh produce ans Seafood at your Walmart I say purchase them there also. Look before you shop and buy!
