None of the retailers had the cheapest item in every category, but if it weren’t for my seemingly lucky week and Kroger card, Walmart would have.
Walmart got me the lowest-priced basket this time — though the savings weren’t as big as I’d expected, given that I specifically shopped the chain’s price-dropped items. Kroger really held its own in this battle.
