A report on grocery prices shows that Kroger’s store-brand items are lower-priced than Walmart’s and Aldi’s, underscoring a significant price gap. The study was cited by three news outlets, providing additional insight for shoppers. Shoppers also say that Kroger’s digital coupons often fail at checkout, causing a inconvenient experience. Another issue arose when a supplier pulling back all Peter Rabbit fruit pouches sold at Target and other stores because of plastic risks, triggering concerns about packaging hazards. Kroger declined to respond about the price report or the coupon problems, leaving consumers with few official statements.
