Retail prices drop as cost of groceries stays high
“Walgreens understands our customers are under financial strain and struggle to purchase everyday essentials," said Tracey D. Brown, Walgreens retail and chief customer service officer. "We continue to be committed to our customers by lowering prices on over a thousand additional items, something we’ve been doing since October of 2023."
Earlier this month, the discount grocery chain Aldi said it would pass along $100 million in savings through Labor Day by lowering its everyday prices on numerous items. Target has also recently announced it is slashing prices this summer on thousands of items including milk, meat, bread, soda, snacks, coffee, diapers and more.
The announcements come as above-average inflation has persisted in 2023 and 2024 after reaching a four-decade high in 2022.
