A report on grocery prices indicates that Kroger’s store-brand items cost less than Walmart’s and Aldi’s, underscoring a significant price gap. The study was referenced by three news outlets, providing additional insight for shoppers. Shoppers also report that Kroger’s digital coupons often fail at checkout, creating a frustrating experience. Another issue surfaced when a supplier withdrawing all Peter Rabbit fruit pouches sold at Target and other stores because of plastic risks, raising concerns about product safety. Kroger declined to respond about the price report or the coupon problems, leaving consumers with no official statements.
