Walmart drops grocery prices

With the rising cost of living top of mind for families, Walmart has lowered the price of hundreds of staple items to help shoppers save money and live better, with more to come.

Since February, Walmart Canada has lowered the price on hundreds of items, including some fresh fruits and vegetables, bathroom tissue, water, cheese, ground beef and shampoo. This is part of Walmart Canada’s mission to provide Every Day Low Prices so customers can rely on consistent, low pricing across the items they’re searching for, saving them time and money on their total basket.

“Since 1994, we’ve been helping Canadians save money and live better with every day low prices. At a time when Canadians are feeling more financially stretched than ever, we’ve lowered the price of hundreds of key items across our stores and website,” said Venessa Yates, president and CEO, Walmart Canada. “We want Canadians to know we’re working hard to help them save, especially at a time when many are struggling to make ends meet. We know we might not win every day on every single item, but customers can trust that on their total grocery shop they will save money at Walmart.”

“We know our customers work hard for every dollar, so we’re laser-focused on bringing them the lowest price that we can on their basket every time they shop with us,” said Sam Wankowski, chief merchandising officer, Walmart Canada. “That’s the core of our Every Day Low Price philosophy — and it helps customers complete their weekly shop within their budget. In addition to the everyday prices we’re lowering, our customers will continue to benefit from thousands of Rollback offers in-store and on Walmart.ca each week.”
