Walmart Remains Price Discount Juggernaut
Cash-strapped consumers are pulling back on spending—particularly on big-ticket items—as economic uncertainty and tariff risks continue to plague outlooks and squeeze household budgets. Goldman's latest grocery pricing survey for June offers a clear framework for value-seeking shoppers: among all major supermarkets, Walmart remains the most competitively priced, especially for perishable goods.
Goldman analysts, led by Leah Jordan, sampled 38 SKUs across dairy, frozen, dry grocery, household-personal care (HPC), and produce of Kroger (KR), Albertsons/Randalls (ACI), Walmart (WMT), Sprouts (SFM), Whole Foods (WFM) and Dollar General (DG) for June.
