I took the same grocery list to Walmart and Target. Both chains had what I needed, but some of the price differences shocked me.

• I took my weekly shopping list to Walmart and Target to compare grocery prices between the chains.
• Basics like boxed mac and cheese and pasta sauce were way cheaper at Walmart.
• Target had a handful of cheaper products, but overall, my total at Walmart was almost $10 less.

Last month, I discovered I could be saving a lot of money by shopping at Walmart instead of Trader Joe’s. Now I want to compare more chains to see if I’m still getting the best deals.

I think Target is great for groceries, household items, and drugstore products, so I thought it would be the perfect next competitor for Walmart.

I took identical shopping lists to Walmart and Target to see where I could get the best value for weekly essentials.
