Top Deals This Week on Grocery Staples: Eggs, Milk, Butter, Bread, and More!
Pantry staples are more expensive than ever. Here’s where to get the best prices on grocery essentials this week!
The cost of groceries is at an all-time high, and it looks like high food prices are here to stay. As a result, many families are struggling to put food on the table while keeping their grocery bills in check.
Since food is essential and there’s not much we can do about rising prices, it’s more important than ever to shop for groceries as strategically as possible.
For some people, that may mean shopping at multiple grocery stores to get the lowest possible price on every item.
If you don’t have many grocery stores near you, your strategy may involve choosing the retailer with the best prices of the week and making just one trip to save on gas.
No matter what your money-saving strategy is, it’s going to require a little bit of advance planning, and we’re here to help! Below, we’re sharing this week’s price comparisons for pantry staples and other grocery essentials at four popular retailers.
The information below can be used to help you plan your grocery shopping for the week. Keep in mind that prices may vary by region, and some retailers aren’t available in all areas of the country.
We hope this list helps you to develop a grocery shopping strategy that will maximize your food budget, whether you’ll be visiting multiple stores to save the most money or consolidating trips to save on time and travel expenses.

Love this. Can u pls do this post every week, maybe on Mondays?
So glad to hear it’s helpful, Kay! And thank you for the suggestion, I’ll pass it along to the team!
100% agree. These are the things that keep me coming back every day. I NEED the publix post every week & I am VERY very happy u started posting the great deals they have every week. If u get those BOGO’s & then the extras u let us know about, we can shop in a great store. I do love going to Aldi, Walmart & target also.
I’m happy to hear you like the post, Kay & Cmascio2002! We do plan to post this weekly! Since stores have varying cycle dates for their weekly ads, we chose Tuesdays for now, but we’ll keep evaluating the date to see if it makes sense to change at all! Thanks so much for your feedback!
My Kroger has 18 ct eggs for .99 this week, using the digital coupon. This may be regional though.
Ooh! Awesome deal, Tracy! Thanks for sharing the egg pricing near you! π€
18ct $1.49 here for that deal π
Yes, love this post! Very helpful! Please, continue this kind of post every week.
You bet! SO glad to hear that, Ann Marie! Thanks a ton for the feedback. π€β€οΈ
I agree that this is a post that we need these days! Monday’s would be better for me, too, as I shop on Tuesday’s (the last day of the Kroger week), but am thankful whenever you post it. Even though this is when many people are thinking gifts for Christmas, we are still shopping for groceries and need all the help we can get. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! So happy to hear these posts are helpful, momjohn! π€ Thanks for letting us know which day of the week works best for you. I’ll be sure to pass this along to the team! π©·
Good & gather eggs are 3.49 at target here. Wish we had .99 eggs around still or any of those cheap deals you guys are getting.
Thanks for posting π. Yes prices vary by region but it’s still nice to see the variance store by store!
You’re very welcome, tewsj. π So happy to hear this post is helpful for comparison shopping!
Thanks so much! This is helpful. Wonder if it should be posted on Wednesday, because Publix, Aldi and Kroger change their sales on Wednesday.
You’re welcome, Donna. π Thanks for sharing your suggestion on the timing of the post – I’ll let the team know! π€
great post as usual! thank you hip2save β€οΈπ
SO sweet! You’re welcome, Nkiser! π₯°
Good & gather eggs are 3.49 at target here. Wish we had .99 eggs around still or any of those cheap deals you guys are getting.
Good to know about the egg prices near you, Anna. π₯π₯° Hoping there’s a price drop on them for you soon! π€
Tampa, FL Walmart has their brand of eggs at $1.63. Target is $1.19. About a month ago I was in Sprouts buying tissues because they always have the best price and I walked around looked clearance deals and found their brand of omega 3 eggs for 99 cents p! I was in heaven!
During lockdown, Aldi had eggs at 49 cents per dozen in NJ. This was the regular price. It only lasted a few weeks but I bought 8 dozen. Once for a week they were 39 cents. Good old days of reasonably priced food.
I donβt recommend shopping at Publix if youβre trying to save money. 99% of the time theyβre 30-50% higher in everything.
Thanks for sharing about the egg comparisons at stores near you, Csandst1. I love shopping around at my grocery store for hidden gems too – glad you spotted a great deal on eggs at Sprouts! ππ₯
Aldi here in SC eggs , milk 2.64, butter 2.65. It’s hard to use your prices for comparison because they are local to whomever posts this.
Eggs 1.13
I enjoy your posts! More grocery deals and things we need on a daily basis would be amazing! Thank you!
Aww, thanks so much for the sweet feedback on these posts and deals, Anna! β€οΈ You’re welcome!
Here in the Seattle area, eggs are generally $3.69 per dozen or so. No cheap eggs here, sadly. Very frustrating.
Love this. How about ShopRite?
Thanks for the request, berry. I’ll be sure to pass along this store suggestion to the team. π€
