Finding the best grocery deals can help you save money on your weekly shopping trips. At WCPO, I'm tracking prices of essential grocery items at four major Tri-State stores to help you find the biggest savings.
I'm monitoring prices at Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, and Meijer every week, focusing on five essential products that most households regularly purchase:
- A gallon of 2 percent milk
- One dozen eggs
- A loaf of whole wheat bread
- Boneless skinless chicken breast
- Ground beef

Potential egg shortage at Kroger
While checking prices at Kroger, I noticed a sign on the door stating, "Due to recent supply shortages, fresh eggs that meet our high-quality standards are limited in quantity."
I've reached out to Kroger to learn how widespread this shortage is, what's causing it, and how long customers can expect eggs to be in short supply.
