Business Insider • • business
Key Points:
- Walmart's rollback on a 1-pound roll of 73% lean ground beef reduced the price from $6.94 to $5.94, making it the cheapest option compared to Kroger at $5.99 and Amazon at $6.15 per pound.
- Walmart offered significant savings on sweet corn at $0.25 per ear, much lower than Kroger's $0.40 and Amazon's $1.25 per ear.
- Kroger's deals, often requiring a free loyalty card, were competitive and sometimes better than Walmart's, such as ice cream priced at $1.99 for 48 ounces versus Walmart's $2.50.
- Amazon's prices were generally higher and more variable, with some items like soda costing nearly double Walmart's price, though it offered convenience through Prime membership.
- Overall, Walmart provided the lowest total price for a full grocery basket during this shopping comparison, but Kroger's weekly deals and loyalty discounts kept it competitive, while Amazon lagged in value despite convenience.
