These Are the 12 Groceries I Always Buy at Walmart

When you compare the name-brand products to Walmart’s own brand, you can seriously save on your grocery essentials.

And with Great Value, you can expect the same high quality without spending more for a certain brand. These grocery staples are a must for any household, and help keep your budget down.

Editor’s note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.

Price: $2.38

Buying flour at Walmart can save you big on baking, frying, and more this summer.

When you buy the Great Value brand, you can save over $4 for a five-pound bag. However, Arrowhead Mills all-purpose flour will cost $6.97 for the same amount.

Price: $3.68

Get a pound of delicious sharp cheddar cheese at Walmart for under $4 when you buy Great Value.

A block of Kraft sharp cheddar costs $5.48, and its ingredients are comparable to those of Walmart.

Plus, buying this one-pound block makes it easy to slice, grate, and add to any recipe for a rich cheesy flavor.

Price: $3.14

Save close to $1.50 on a four-pound bag of sugar by choosing Walmart’s low prices.

While Domino Granulated Sugar offers the same amount, you’d pay $4.46 for just as much sugar as the Great Value brand.

This is especially handy for sweetening your favorite drinks, recipes, and more.

Price: $4.97

Every bit of savings counts when you shop for your groceries at Walmart.

These delectable deli slices have a slow-roasted flavor and cost under $5. However, if you choose the Oscar Mayer roast beef, you’d spend $5.34 just for the name brand.

Price: $0.96

Walmart has a ton of canned goods to help you create homemade meals and sides in no time.

This low-sodium variety of diced tomatoes is under $1 per can and is perfect for making pasta sauce, salsa, and more.

The Hunt’s brand costs $0.40 more per can at $1.36, and those prices sure can add up at the checkout.

Price: $3.20

Milk is a staple for many households, so it’s important to save every dollar when shopping for it.

If you’re buying milk weekly, then the Great Value brand can save you over $2 each time. For the same milk, the Prairie Farms brand costs $5.28, so you’d spend $20 a month on a gallon.

Price: $0.98

Keeping your pantry stocked with easy and affordable dinners can help you save time and money.

Enjoy a penne pasta in no time with this under $1 Great Value find. Its Barilla counterpart costs $1.84 in comparison, and that’s without considering the cost of sauce, meat, and sides.

Price: $8.54

This 24-pack of cola would be a deal all on its own, but it’s even sweeter when you compare it to Coca-Cola.

You could pay $11.78 for the same amount of Coca-Cola cans in this purchase, or you could spend just $8.54 for the Walmart brand.

Once you have a sip of Sam’s Cola, however, you may never go back to the name brand.

Price: $1.46

Save over $1 on a pack of eight hot dog buns during your Walmart visit. Typically, Wonder costs $2.47 for white hot dog buns that are the same size and quality.

Thankfully, for $1 less, you can snag some Great Value buns and buy your favorite hot dogs with the savings.

Price: $1.97

Why spend $2 extra for the name brand when you could save instead?

While Hidden Valley is the original Ranch dressing, it will put you out $3.98 for each 16-fl oz bottle. You can buy two bottles of the Great Value Ranch dressing and dip for the price of one.

Price: $2.42

Staying hydrated is a must this busy summer, but you don’t want to break the bank in the process.

For the same zero-sugar flavor of electrolyte powder, you can save over $1.50 per box with the Great Value brand.

Whereas Propel’s kiwi strawberry drink mix would cost $3.97, and you still only get 10 packets.

Price: $6.97

Make sure you’re shopping for your pet’s grocery needs, too, during your Walmart run.

Walmart’s Ol’ Roy brand of dog treats will keep you under $7 for a pack of seven for large and medium-sized dogs.

Purina, however, costs $9.98 for just six bones for small and medium-sized dogs, so you’re getting more for your money in the Walmart deal.

Don’t waste money on name brands when you grocery shop. Walmart makes it easy to find just what you need and keep more cash in your wallet.

And with the savings each month, you can put that money toward a fun trip for the summer instead.
