Grocery Price Comparison Sheet 2026
I’m soooo excited to have this updated, and now all our most popular stores are compared on one simple list!
If you’ve ever looked at your shopping list and wondered – where should I go to save the most money on these items? This is your cheat sheet!
UPDATE: we *just* updated the Ultimate Aldi, Costco, Sam’s, Target & Walmart Price Comparison Cheat Sheet with 2026 prices ~ go HERE to print yours!
The PPP team has just updated this amazing (seriously A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.) reference guide for you to use every time you shop Aldi, Costco, Sam’s, Target and Walmart. And the best part? We’re giving it to you totally free!
I SERIOUSLY LOVE THIS LIST ~ I’m a penny pinching dork and it just makes me happy to always know the best prices!
Now, as always, pricing will vary a bit by area and your store, but this gives you a good basic starting place with an idea of what to really expect at each store.
And if you’re like me, I’m betting you’ll be a little surprised at how the prices stack up.
I never (ever?) would have expected Walmart and Target to be higher on so many items (not everything, but many things!), so the results were pretty interesting to me.
And can you believe who had the cheapest price on bread?
What about eggs (whew … the eggs this year)?
Here are a few tips to fully take advantage of this list:
Doesn’t Include Sales: These are everyday prices on these items and don’t include any special sales at all. If you can wait for a sale at Target or Walmart you’ll get a better price, so this is just your starting point.
Store Brands: We did the best we could to compare things evenly across the board. We looked at basic generic brands as much as we were able (i.e. Up & Up for Target and Great Value for Walmart), and gave you the exact item name so you can compare too.
Check Sizes: In some cases we had to compare a 4ct Butter package to an 8ct Butter Package (that’s bulk club stores for ya!) – so take that into account when scanning the list!
Regional Variations: These prices were updated in the Southeast, so your pricing will vary some by store. This just gives you a handy little reference guide to get an idea of what to expect.
MOST IMPORTANT: This is such a valuable tool when shopping other store sales. A few weeks ago I was shopping the Mega Sale at Kroger and while I thought I was getting a good price on peanut butter, a quick look at this list let me know that I was getting a serious stock-up price. Even if you don’t use this list to compare these stores to one another, it is so stinkin’ handy so that you’ll always know when you’re getting the very best price on an item. WOOHOOO! 😉

I am having problems, since the section I am supposed to click on to provide my email is not active. Therefore I have been unable to give my email, to obtain the current list with comparisson prices for ALDI , Costco, etc
So sorry you’re having trouble with that! It seems to still be working for us but we’ll double-check. If you send us an email to shop@passionatepennypincher.com, we can send that list out to you that way. 🙂
I mostly shop at Meijer in Ohio. I don’t see it in your comparison chart.
Bummer, Susan! I’d say Meijer should fall close within the Target prices. That should help give you an idea. 🙂
Is the update actually live? The first item is baking chips and the price at my Aldi in VA and my moms in FL is double what you have listed. And I haven’t been able to find the Kirkland brand in over a year at CostCo. They only gave Toll House.
We updated the list fairly recently. Unfortunately, the list will vary depending on the area you’re in. Thanks for letting us know! We’ll go back and look over it again. 🙂
I have tried about 5 times with 2 different email addresses and have not received this email download. Even checked junk and spam folder. Receiving my other PPP emails fine.
I am so sorry you are having trouble. Please email shop@passionatepennypincher.com and they can send it to you!
I have this same problem every time I’ve tried to get this list!
So sorry you’re having issues receiving it. Please send us an email to shop@passionatepennypincher.com and we’ll try to resend it that way! 🙂
Yeaaaa No matter WHAT I “ click” it will not allow me to print the lists.

Please email shop@passionatepennypincher.com and they should be able to help you!
The email I received just sends me to the website that asks for my email again. It’s just an infinite loop.
So sorry you are having trouble Megan! Please email shop@passionatepennypincher.com and they should be able to help you!
I would love to get the price comparison sheet. I have tried to enter our email 2-3 times but to no avail and I have checked our spam and trash folders. Could you send it to me please?
Me too….Tried many times 🙁
Send us an email to shop@passionatepennypincher.com and we’ll see if we can help you out! 🙂
Yep. Me too
Please email us at shop@passionatepennypincher.com and we’ll see if we can get it sent to you!
It would be great if you would include a ‘last updated’ date on the spreadsheet so we can know just how current it is. Great work! I used to do this when my kids were little.
I like a copy of the cheat sheet.
Hi Betty! If you plug in your email address HERE, we’ll get that sent right over! 🙂 —> https://passionatepennypincher.com/the-ultimate-price-comparison-sheet/

I have submitted my email submitted my email twice now twice and have received nothing? I checked spam,junk,trash folders but there is nothing? Can you help?
Hi Sandra! If you can email us directly at contact@passionatepennypincher.com, we would be happy to send that over to you! Sorry it’s been giving you trouble!
For what state are these prices? Each state has different prices for the same stores.
This is wonderful!! Thank you so much for your hard work and time on this list. I tried putting one together a few years ago and got so overwhelmed. Thank you for helping me save time and money!!
Yayyyy! You’re so welcome Anna! 🙂
Hi, I have submitted my email several times to have the price comparison sheet send to me, but I never received it 🙁
There aren’t any blocks and it isn’t in my spam folder. Please help…
Thanks!
Hi Dawn! If you could send me a quick email at contact@passionatepennypincher.com, we’ll get that sent over to you! 🙂 Have a great day!
Is there an updated version for 2019?
Hi Tamboliya! This is the most recent one we have right now, but we’ll be sure to post if we update it! 🙂
Excellent blog post. I definitely love this website.
Thanks!
I would really love this list, but have submitted my email twice now in the last two weeks and have received nothing (yes, I’ve checked my junk folder). Am I missing something?
I’m sending you an email now Krista – watch for it! 🙂
I am having the same issue 🙁 Can you send to me too please?
Hi Ruby! If you could send us a quick email at contact@passionatepennypincher.com, we’ll get that sent over to you! 🙂 Thanks so much!
I’m so happy you made these convient list. Unfortunately the prices don’t match where I live. I live in CA so I wish you’d make the list with everything except the prices. The list I recently looked at was the price comparison sheet. We also don’t have the same store so maybe leave a line or 2 blank so we can add in our local stores.
We do obviously have Costco, Sam’s & Target.
Just a little thought I’d share. Have a great day.
This is a great tool.
Could you add one thing to the bottom of the file in the * section: Prices taken on (then the date).
Maybe even put Prices taken from Sam’s on…, from Aldi on…
We like the space between the brand name and the price as we put our current price for the items we purchase on our printed sheet.
Thanks for your work.
Blessings on you and your family!
And here I thought I was getting a good deal…thanks for all your hard work.
So glad it helps Lisa! 🙂
This Ultimate Price Comparison is the best thing yet on PPP!!! Thanks so much!
Aww thank you sooo much Arlene! That really just made my day! I have been kind of discouraged because it didn’t do as well as I was hoping. Tonight in our family prayers I prayed that I can focus on helping others with the list instead of worrying about the numbers! And I never look at the comments usually and I just happened to stumble on yours! Thank you sooo very much! ~ Shannon
