A report on grocery prices states that Kroger’s store-brand items are lower-priced than Walmart’s and Aldi’s, underscoring a significant price gap. The study was cited by three news outlets, providing additional insight for shoppers. Shoppers also note that Kroger’s digital coupons often fail at checkout, making a inconvenient experience. Another issue arose when a supplier withdrawing all Peter Rabbit fruit pouches sold at Target and other stores because of plastic risks, triggering concerns about packaging hazards. Kroger has not replied about the price report or the coupon problems, leaving the public with limited official statements.
