America’s Cheapest Grocery Store in 2026
What is the cheapest grocery store? Which grocery store will save you the most money? Take a look at this massive price comparison of four of the biggest grocery store chains to see how they rank. Let’s find out the cheapest grocery store in 2026!
Are you geniunely wondering what is the cheapest grocery store in 2026? Is Aldi really cheaper than Walmart? And how do Kroger and Meijer compare?
I have been tracking grocery prices for years because I want to know where I can get the most groceries for my money. I first completed this massive grocery price comparison in 2019, and I have updated it five times since then.
For my latest update, I compared 184 common grocery and household items at Aldi, Walmart, Kroger and Meijer.
And once again, we have a clear winner.
Aldi is the cheapest grocery store in 2026 based on everyday prices.
But there are some very interesting changes in the numbers this year, especially when you compare them to what grocery prices looked like when I started this project in 2019.
If you are a grocery geek like me, you’re going to love this because I have a lot of numbers, prices and data to share with you. I’m not guessing. I really compared all these prices in September 2026.
Let’s dive into all the numbers!

What Is the Cheapest Grocery Store in 2026?
If you want the quick answer, Aldi has the cheapest everyday grocery prices in my 2026 price comparison.
Here are the results.
| 2026 Results | Aldi | Meijer | Kroger | Walmart |
| Lowest Price | 125 | 8 | 13 | 49 |
| Second Lowest | 2 | 8 | 8 | 32 |
| Total Lowest | 127 | 16 | 21 | 81 |
| Lowest Price | 68% | 4% | 7% | 27% |
| Second Lowest | 1% | 4% | 4% | 17% |
| Total Lowest | 69% | 8% | 11% | 44% |
Aldi had the absolute lowest price on 125 items, or about 68% of the items compared.
Walmart came in second with the lowest price on 49 items, followed by Kroger with 13 and Meijer with 8.
When I include prices that were within 5 cents of the lowest price, Aldi was at or near the lowest price on 127 items, compared to 81 at Walmart, 21 at Kroger and 16 at Meijer.
Note: Some stores tied for the lowest price on the same product, so the totals will not add up perfectly.
The numbers make it pretty clear. If you are shopping strictly based on regular, everyday prices, Aldi continues to be the cheapest grocery store in my comparison.
How Did I Compare Grocery Store Prices?
I live in Northern Indiana, where I have easy access to Aldi, Walmart, Meijer and Kroger. Those are the four stores I have tracked since I started this project.
I compared prices in 10 different areas of the grocery store:
- Dairy
- Pantry
- Canned Goods
- Condiments
- Baking Goods
- Meat
- Frozen Foods
- Paper and Cleaning Products
- Personal Products
- Diapers
I compared the cheapest generic option whenever possible, along with some name-brand products where appropriate.
I also compared package sizes carefully. When stores carried different sizes, I compared the price per ounce rather than simply looking at the sticker price.
Most importantly, these are everyday prices.
I did NOT include sale prices, digital coupons, clearance prices, or other special discounts.
That is intentional.
I love shopping sales and regularly save money that way, but I wanted this comparison to answer one very specific question:
Which grocery store has the lowest regular prices?
Please remember that prices also vary around the country. These are prices from Northern Indiana, so your exact prices may be different. Still, comparing this much data gives us a very good look at the pricing differences between these four stores.
How Much Cheaper Is Aldi Than Walmart, Kroger and Meijer?
This year, I wanted to look beyond simply counting which store had the lowest price.
I also wanted to know: How much money are we actually talking about?
Because some stores sell products in different package sizes, it would not be accurate to simply add every price in my complete spreadsheet together.
However, I found 109 products where all four stores had directly comparable prices. When I totaled those 109 products, here is what they cost.
| Store | Cost of 109 Comparable Items |
|---|---|
| Aldi | $263.62 |
| Walmart | $279.73 |
| Kroger | $311.34 |
| Meijer | $313.26 |
That is a pretty substantial difference!
Buying those same 109 items at Aldi instead of Walmart saved $16.11, making the Aldi total about 5.8% cheaper than Walmart.
The difference was even larger at the other stores.
Aldi was $47.72 cheaper than Kroger, which made the Aldi cart about 15.3% cheaper than Kroger.
Aldi was $49.64 cheaper than Meijer, making the Aldi total about 15.8% cheaper than Meijer.
This is why looking at actual dollars matters. Walmart remains fairly competitive with Aldi, but the gap becomes much larger when you compare Aldi to Kroger or Meijer at regular prices.
What Is the Cheapest Grocery Store by Category?
One of the most interesting parts of this year’s research was breaking the results down by category.
Aldi didn’t just win overall. Aldi had the most lowest-price items in 8 of the 10 categories I compared.
Aldi Is Especially Cheap for Canned Goods and Dairy
Aldi absolutely dominated the canned goods category.
Out of 21 canned goods I compared, Aldi had the lowest price on 19 of them – 90% of the category.
Aldi also had the lowest price on 21 of 24 dairy products, or 88%.
Here is how many lowest-price wins Aldi had in each category:
| Category | Aldi Lowest Prices | Items Compared | Aldi % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canned Goods | 19 | 21 | 90% |
| Dairy | 21 | 24 | 88% |
| Meat | 9 | 11 | 82% |
| Frozen | 7 | 9 | 78% |
| Condiments | 16 | 22 | 73% |
| Baking Goods | 20 | 29 | 69% |
| Pantry | 23 | 39 | 59% |
| Paper & Cleaning | 7 | 12 | 58% |
| Personal Products | 2 | 10 | 20% |
| Diapers | 1 | 7 | 14% |
Again, ties are included, so more than one store can receive a lowest-price win on the same item.
There is an important takeaway here.
Aldi is strongest on actual food. Walmart becomes much more competitive once you move into personal care products and diapers.
Walmart Is Cheapest for Personal Care and Diapers
Walmart beat Aldi in two categories.
For personal products, Walmart had the lowest price on 6 of 10 products, compared to only 2 for Aldi. Some of that is due to their limited selection which means Aldi just doesn’t carry everything you need to always be a one stop shop.
For diapers, Walmart had the lowest price on 5 of 7 products, or 71% of the products compared.
So even though Aldi is the clear overall winner, I wouldn’t automatically assume Aldi is cheapest for everything.
This is exactly why knowing your prices matters!
Is Aldi Cheaper Than Walmart?
Yes. Based on my 2026 price comparison, Aldi is cheaper than Walmart overall.
Aldi had the lowest price on 125 items, compared to 49 for Walmart.
Aldi was at or within 5 cents of the lowest price on 127 items, compared to 81 for Walmart.
And on the 109 products where I could make a direct dollar-for-dollar comparison, Aldi cost $263.62 compared to $279.73 at Walmart.
That’s a difference of $16.11, or about 5.8%.
Still, Walmart remains Aldi’s closest competitor.
Walmart also carries many products Aldi does not. If you want to shop at only one store and need groceries, toiletries, paper products and household items, paying a little more at Walmart may be worth the convenience.
Is Walmart Cheaper Than Kroger?
Based strictly on everyday prices, yes. Walmart is considerably cheaper than Kroger.
Walmart had the lowest price on 49 items compared to only 13 for Kroger.
On my 109 directly comparable products, Walmart totaled $279.73, while Kroger totaled $311.34.
That is a difference of $31.61.
But this is where I have to put in a big disclaimer.
I rarely pay Kroger’s regular prices.
Kroger has some fantastic sales, digital coupons and markdowns. When Kroger puts something on a great sale, that price can absolutely beat Aldi or Walmart.
So I don’t consider these results a reason to stop shopping at Kroger. Instead, they remind me to be very selective about what I buy there.
Is Meijer Cheaper Than Aldi or Walmart?
Not when comparing regular prices.
Meijer had the lowest price on only 8 items in my 2026 comparison.
On the 109 directly comparable products, Meijer was the most expensive store at $313.26.
That was $49.64 more than Aldi and $33.53 more than Walmart.
Once again, though, this doesn’t mean I won’t shop at Meijer.
Meijer runs good sales, particularly on meat. I am happy to shop those sales when the price beats my normal stock-up prices.
The key is knowing when a sale really is a good deal.
How Has the Cheapest Grocery Store Changed Since 2019?
When I started this research in 2019, Walmart was the clear winner. Walmart was at or near the lowest price on 72% of the items I compared, compared to only 33% at Aldi. In 2026, those positions have almost reversed, with Aldi at 69% and Walmart at 44%.
This is also a good reminder of why I keep updating this research.
Grocery prices change.
The cheapest store then (2019) is not the cheapest store now (2026).
How Much Have Grocery Prices Increased Since 2019?
We all know groceries cost more than they used to, but exactly how much more?
Since I have been tracking the same grocery prices since 2019, I went back through my original data to find out.
I found 88 products that I could directly compare between my 2019 and 2026 research. For each item, I looked at the lowest price available among Aldi, Walmart, Kroger and Meijer.
In 2019, buying those 88 products at the store with the lowest price would have cost $135.00.
In 2026, those same 88 products at the lowest available prices cost $199.96.
That’s an increase of $64.96 – or 48.1% – in seven years.
For comparison, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that overall food-at-home prices increased approximately 33.4% from August 2019 to July 2026. My basket of 88 commonly purchased products increased even more, at 48.1% over roughly the same time period.
Some individual price increases were even more dramatic:
- Ground beef (80% lean) increased from $2.99 to $6.19 per pound – an increase of 107%.
- Canola oil (48 oz) increased from $1.85 to $3.89 – up 110%.
- Chocolate chips increased from $1.74 to $3.65 – up 110%.
- Saltine crackers increased from $0.77 to $1.85 – up 140%.
- Tomato paste (6 oz) increased from $0.39 to $0.86 – up 121%.
- Salad dressing (16 oz) increased from $0.92 to $1.99 – up 116%.
Not everything doubled, of course. A gallon of milk went from a lowest price of $1.77 in 2019 to $2.02 in 2026, an increase of only 14%. Butter was surprisingly steady in my particular comparison, increasing from $2.85 to $2.89 per pound.
But taken together, the numbers are pretty striking.
Even shopping every single item at the cheapest store, this same basket of 88 groceries costs 48% more than it did in 2019.
That is exactly why I believe knowing your prices – and shopping sales and stockpiling when prices are low – matters more than ever.
Is Aldi Still Cheapest If You Shop Grocery Sales?
Let’s get back to saving today. This is where things get a bit more complicated.
Aldi is the cheapest store in my comparison based on everyday prices.
But everyday prices are only one way to save money on groceries.
If you are willing to shop sales, use digital coupons and stock up when prices are low, stores like Kroger and Meijer can have prices that beat Aldi.
This is how I personally grocery shop.
I don’t buy everything at Aldi just because Aldi won this comparison.
Instead, I combine Aldi’s low regular prices with the best sales I find elsewhere.
Cheapest Everyday Prices: Aldi
If I need something now and there isn’t a good sale anywhere, Aldi is usually my first choice.
With 125 lowest-price items in this comparison, the numbers support that strategy.
Best One-Stop Low Price Option: Walmart
Walmart doesn’t beat Aldi overall, but it comes closer than Kroger or Meijer.
Walmart is also a much easier one-stop shop because it carries products Aldi doesn’t.
If I don’t want to make another stop, I am often willing to pay a few cents more at Walmart.
Best Strategy for Sale Shoppers: Shop More Than One Store
This is where you can really save.
For me, I check the weekly ads and shop the amazing sales at Kroger because their sale food prices usually beat the every day low price at Aldi and Walmart. Then, I do a stock up trip once or twice a month at Aldi where prices are the lowest to fill in the gaps. This is what it currently looks like for me, but I am constantly reevaluating to be a smart shopper.
You don’t have to visit four stores every week.
Simply knowing which prices are good allows you to shop strategically when the sales appear.
What About Costco, Sam’s Club, Trader Joe’s, WinCo and Other Grocery Stores?
I know there are other inexpensive grocery stores, but I intentionally limited this comparison to Aldi, Walmart, Kroger and Meijer.
Warehouse stores such as Costco and Sam’s Club sell many products in much larger package sizes, which makes a direct shopping-list comparison difficult.
Specialty stores don’t necessarily carry all the same products either.
I wanted to compare the same basic grocery list across traditional grocery stores as fairly as possible.
There is also an important location aspect to this comparison.
I live in Indiana. Stores such as WinCo, Lidl, H-E-B and other regional chains are not available to me, so I can’t personally collect the same in-store pricing data for those stores.
I would rather give you actual prices I researched myself than guess about stores I can’t accurately compare.
What is the cheapest grocery store near me?
Your cheapest grocery store may be different from mine.
Thankfully, you don’t need to compare more than 180 products to figure it out!
Start with 20 to 25 products your family buys regularly.
Write down what you normally pay for milk, eggs, butter, cheese, bread, cereal, chicken, ground beef and whatever other staples regularly end up in your cart.
Then compare those same products at two or three grocery stores near you. Don’t rule out the “more expensive” stores because you might be surprised at what you find.
Many grocery store apps make this easier than it used to be.
Just make sure you are comparing the same package sizes—or calculate the unit price when the sizes are different.
Once you know which store is consistently cheaper on the things you actually buy, you have your answer.
Here’s a printable price book form you can use if you want to do your own price comparison.
One more thing to consider…
Does the Cheapest Grocery Store Always Save You the Most Money?
Not necessarily.
Price matters, but so does…
- The quality of the food
- How far you have to drive
- How much time another grocery stop takes
- Whether the store carries everything you need
- Sales and digital coupons
- Fuel rewards
- Whether you actually like the store brands
Saving 10 cents isn’t worth driving across town.
On the other hand, saving $10, $20 or $30 on a larger grocery trip can certainly make another stop worthwhile.
Use the numbers as a starting point, but make the decision that works best for your family.
How Do I Use This Information to Save Money on Groceries?
After doing this research for years, I keep coming back to the same conclusion.
Know your prices.
If you want to shop mainly at one store, Aldi is a great choice based on my research.
If you want to save even more, learn the everyday low prices at Aldi and Walmart and then watch for Kroger and Meijer sales that beat them.
That is also why I keep a list of my personal stock-up prices.
When I see a sale, I don’t have to wonder if $2.99 is a good price. I already know what I normally pay and what price is low enough for me to stock up.
Combining low everyday prices with great sale prices is one of the simplest ways to stretch your grocery budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cheapest Grocery Store
Based on my comparison of more than 180 grocery and household items in Northern Indiana, Aldi has the cheapest everyday prices in 2026. Aldi had the lowest price on 125 items, compared to 49 at Walmart, 13 at Kroger and 8 at Meijer.
Yes. Aldi had the lowest price on 68% of the products in my 2026 comparison, compared to 27% for Walmart. On 109 directly comparable products, Aldi cost $263.62 compared to $279.73 at Walmart.
For regular everyday prices, yes. My 109-item comparable shopping basket cost $279.73 at Walmart versus $311.34 at Kroger—a difference of $31.61. Kroger sales and digital coupons can change that equation considerably, which is why I still regularly shop Kroger sales.
Aldi was the clear winner in my 2026 comparison. Aldi had the lowest price on 19 of 21 canned goods, or 90%.
Walmart won the diaper category in my comparison, with the lowest price on 5 of 7 diaper and wipe products.
Did you use store brands or national brands for your prices? Some store brands aren’t as good as the national brands, in quality or taste.
It is a combination of both. There are some name brands included, and I list those in my full list, as well as generics. I am loyal to a couple name brands myself, but often go with generics to save money.
Our Aldi here is disgusting, I won’t go in there again ever! It is not very clean. The Walmart doesn’t have much at any given point, so Meijer is our choice. I might pay a little more, but I know I’m getting fresh, quality food. And they are better stocked, so we make one trip. We also stick to sales, use their customer loyalty discounts and gas discounts and have found that to be a better overall deal for the money.
This list did not include several chains out here in the mid-Atlantic area such as BJ’s or Costco but their sizes are often different from grocery stories. But I shop at the Shop-Rite and the Acme too. The Shop-rite prices are generally the best for over-all shopping but the Acme prices are generally higher but it has a more convenient location for small pickups and has good salads. I have been to our local Aldi’s but could not find brown mustard (like Gulden’s). And I found that over half the store was devoted to non-food items. It is an older store. They have a new chain that started up called Lyda’s (or something like it.) They claim to have the best prices but I have not been to one because so far there isn’t one near me. There is also not a Walmart near me with a full grocery line in it. However, we do go to the Walmart in Kingston, ONT, CAN when we are at our cabin up there. And I think it is very nice. You wrote a great article but it is like the compasions in Consumer Reports where the reports are for brands I wouldn’t consider or even be able to find so I don’t have model I can look for such as a vacuum cleaner.
In San Antonio TX we only have Walmart and HEB. Kroger and Albertsons tried but no one beats HEB so, they gave up. Walmart doesn’t carry the selection HEB does.
Love HEB!
I shop at Walmart and Meijer and I agree Walmart has the lowest daily prices. Meijer’s sale prices normally beat Walmart’s daily prices. I would say I’m 80 20 in favor of Walmart but I load up when Meijers has their better sales. For some reason or other, I have a photographic memory when it comes to prices. So it’s easy for me when it comes to shopping. I’ve always considered Kroger a rip-off. I like ALDI because they have items no one else
I agree, Walmart is better than Aldis in other ways, I think that more (W) products (granted, not all, just more than) are produced in USA rather than in Germany and other foreign countries.
I have a Safeway (Kroger) closest and then Walmart. I shop both for different items. I try to buy bult at Walmart or Sams (the Walmart website is a good source for searching for frozen, canned, and nonperishable items that you can use off-brand names, such as TP, PT, emergency food items, pet foods, and even some female hygiene items. I do have a Sams Club near me that I occassionally do stock-up trips. I do buy some meats, coffees and cereal items at Walmart, but the vast majority of produce, fresh meats/fish, and certain refreshments/alcohols I buy at Safeway (Kroger). Here in CO on the Front Range, the prices are comparable for better quality items and short trips for immediate needs. Plus, with Safeway (and Kum & Go), I collect points which allows me to accumulate gas points; I recently paid nearly $.40 off per gallon of gas at Safeway! I’ve also been getting my individual coffees at either Safeway or Kum & Go so as to accumulate these gas point savings. It means less impromptu or spontaneous stops and spending, but I’m OK with that.
Does your research include other stores? Giant Eagle, Acme, Marcs, Save-a-Lot?
Right now, it just includes Kroger, Meijer, Walmart and Aldi – the most common stores. Perhaps in the future, I will have more stores. We shall see! 🙂
Thank you for this information!! This matched my findings for Central New York exactly! We don’t have your grocery stores, but the most common in my area, Price Chopper, is ofter much higher than Aldi’s or Walmart on most things. In addition, they have switched to clipless coupons exclusively, you must download them to your card and if it doesn’t come off as it should they can’t help you in the store, you have to call corporate. (That fact alone does not help me want to shop there!) Aldi’s is where we do most of our shopping with mostly Walmart for the stuff we can’t get at Aldi’s, and this time of year our local farmers market for fresh vegetables.
You are truly welcome, Barb! And that is interesting to hear that it matches your findings as well. Digital coupons are nice sometimes, but if they don’t come off, that is certainly a hassle. I’m going to be joining you in doing more of my shopping at Aldi again, because every little bit of savings adds up!
I agree Walmart is cheapest on many items, however I would never buy fresh vegetables or fresh meat from Walmart. I have had too many problems with both of these items. They do not understand what fresh means.
I agree! I buy some fruits there, but buy my meats at Kroger and Meijer – as compared to Walmart. I can get better sales on fresher meats at those two stores. For stocking up on staples, Walmart remains my cheap go-to.
I agree. I buy most of my fresh produce & meat from Safeway here on the Front Range in CO. I reserve most buying from Walmart/Sams for nonperishables and paper items like TP/PT. It works for me. And I get gas savings at Safeway, Sams Club, and Kum & Go.
I think Walmart has very fair prices. I’m learning to take advantage of Walmart prices.
Great info. I would also share that I can get through Aldi in less than 20 minutes with my list, so it will remain my go-to store for now.
That is a definite Aldi perk, for sure!
This is such a great list! I always wondered where to find the cheapest items and love how you broke everything down for us. I am becoming more and more of a Walmart shopper, although like you, it’s more for the prices than the experience!
Walmart also offers an additional perk for those who RV: You can stay overnight one night in their parking lot for free. We always pick up a few things as our way of saying thank you. While it’s louder than most campgrounds, you can’t beat free when you are in a pinch!
Thank you, Kalyn! I wanted it to be helpful so every one could compare prices and make their own shopping decisions. Like you, I’m one of those shoppers who draws the final line at prices. 🙂 And for that reason, I’m learning to take advantage of Walmart prices. That is an amazing Walmart perk for RV travelers! And since Walmarts are every where, it is nice to know you can always find a free place to stay when you need one!
I’m not surprised by meijer! I only go there for convenience to my house and if it’s on sale.
I have been noticing Aldi prices going up but it’s quick and convenient sometimes. Didn’t think wAlmart would beat them that much.
Oh, convenience is a big factor – and sometimes, it is definitely worth paying a bit more for the convenience of shopping! I do that too. Aldi’s prices have been creeping up for awhile now, but like you, I didn’t think Walmart would beat them that much!
Do you miss HEB?
You know…maybe? I definitely miss their fresh tortillas! 🙂 However, since I have started shopping on my own, I have never had access to an HEB so I learned to compare prices at different stores. I would like to go do a price comparison of HEB with some other stores to see how they compare. Still, I believe there are good deals to be found at every grocery store if you shop the sales and watch for deals!
Walmart is not my go to store the closest is about 20 minutes from my house. Kroger is because of the sales plus it is less than 3 minutes from home. Aldi is at least a 45min to 1hr drive for me so not worth my time. There are certain items that we purchase at Walmart. Most of those items we purchase 2 or 3 at a time to keep from having to go there. I usually purchase OJ, Sour Cream, Yogurt, Health & Beauty items at Walmart. I don’t purchase fruit or veg Kroger has much better quality. I also don’t purchase meat, I get that at a small family owned market that has a full time butcher to butcher the cuts free of charge. Plus the quality of their meat beats out everyone else including the closest meat market. If you don’t take the Kroger sales into consideration Walmart is cheaper however when you do take them I save more shopping at Kroger than anywhere else.
You shop much like I do, Rebecca! 🙂 The Kroger sales truly are amazing and make it a great place to shop. When you add in their digital coupons and gas rewards, which I try to maximize now, it makes Kroger very comparable to Walmart. Like you, I try to stock up on certain things at Walmart but don’t see myself going there every week either. Kroger is just around the corner from me as well so it is very handy, and probably the place where I do most of my shopping too!
I noticed Aldi prices were going up and don’t shop Meijer because I noticed their prices are way out of line. I love Kroger specials and if it is something I use I always get the item/s there. Who could pass up a huge package of Kroger paper towels priced at $9.99 for free???? I was bless to get that coupon sent to me and I sure did load that one!!! We have been shopping Walmart more and more. They don’t have the selection that other stores have, but the prices are good. Thanks for doing this Kristen.
They started to remodel the Aldi’s that are the city closest to my town and I stopped in just to check out the new look. I had been a previous Aldi shopper before I moved to my town and I noticed that the prices were much higher than pre-remodel. Guess the consumers get to pay for the remodel.
When Walmart first came to California I didn’t want to shop there because of hearing bad things about the place. When I thought about it I realized their employee benefits are at least as good if not better than similar retailers so I felt better about trying it out. When they expanded to include full grocery stores I went on in and was impressed and amazed. I do about 90% of my shopping there now because I feel like their prices are fair.
One thing I resent about the grocery stores is how you have to buy certain quantities of things to get a good price. I find that ridiculous and is another reason I appreciate WalMart.
Aldi has been here for a couple of years but I don’t shop there as they seem to sell mostly off brands and it’s funny because I like the Great Value brand from WalMart but they price the brand names fairly too. At Aldi it seems like brand names are priced as high as legacy grocers.
I agree, Shelz. I think Walmart has very fair prices – and like you, I really like the Great Value brand. It amazes me how many people don’t like to buy generic but it really is a great source of savings! And yes, Aldi name brands are just as high as grocery stores, because they pride themselves more on their generics. You do have to watch grocery store purchases because some require you to buy multiples for the sale price. Thankfully, I think more stores are going away from that model but it still happens.
