I'm soooo excited to have this updated, and now all our most popular stores compared on one simple list!
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.
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.
Here are a few things you need to know to fully take advantage of this list:
- 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.
- 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 to (i.e. Up & Up for Target and Great Value for Walmart), and gave you the exact item name so you can compare too.
- 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 IMPORTANTLY**** 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! 😉

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 [email protected], 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 [email protected], 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 [email protected], 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
