Think Twice Before You Buy Fresh Produce At Walmart
The retailer does boast rock-bottom prices in most product categories, which is great if you're looking for low-cost workout gear or paper products. But, when it comes to fruits and veggies, particularly organic, smart shopping expert Trae Bodge tells Kiplinger: "Walmart is not known for their pricing on organic foods, so you might do better at a Trader Joe's or Aldi."
What's more, the shopping experts at Clark went on their own grocery trip to compare prices at Walmart, Aldi, and Kroger. They found that bananas at Aldi were just 44 cents per pound, while costing 59 cents at Kroger and Walmart. And if you're looking for an avocado, it's 69 cents at Aldi, 77 cents at Kroger, and 88 cents at Walmart. For their list of the same 20 items, the experts found that Aldi came out on top, costing a total of $6 less than Walmart.
So, the next time you're in a Walmart Supercenter, think twice before restocking your fruits and veggies. There might be better quality and prices just down the road.
