By comparison prices rose just 0.7% in 2019. In an effort to stretch their grocery dollars further a growing number of Americans are turning to Walmart.

Walmart’s low prices are also resonating with high income consumers who made up about half of the company’s market share gains in food in the fiscal quarter that ended January 2023.
