As we speak more and more about inflation, we have to take into consideration that buying groceries is only going to get more expensive than it ever has.

And even if customers won’t be able to avoid inflated prices anymore, it might pay off to do all your groceries at stores that offer competitive prices and avoid those that tend to ask for more money.

Consumer Reports actually asked a couple of shoppers to rank the price competitiveness of different grocery chains throughout the country, and apparently, these 14 stores were rated as the worst grocery stores that you could ever go to:

  1. I agree that Gelson’s is badly overpriced but, their quality is second-to-none & when they’re your neighborhood grocery, those few Pennie’s-higher are easy to get accustomed to

  2. We don’t have any of these in Southeastern Wisconsin except Whole Foods. And both Whole Foods locations aren’t even in my neighborhood.

  3. You forgot about srinkflation?? It’s so messed up everywhere. Even old spice is doing it now.

  4. I’m not a regular Von’s shopper however, I do shop their sister store, Albertson’s…the sale price items and they are great. This from a “super shopper”. The reason I go to Albertsons is largely, Albertsons is closer. Again, I only shop the sale items. They do run “good sales”.

  5. Amazon Fresh Stores.

    I’ve been shopping there and I have to say their prices are incredibly low. Produce and fruit are top quality. As good as Sprout’s. And you can check out with the wave of your hand!

  6. I go to Shaws in Newburyport Ma I have always been satisfied with their produce, meats and baked goods.
    I do agree their prices are not competitive but I have usually been satisfied with the courtesy of their employees
