CLEVELAND — Grocery prices continue to strain household budgets, and that's exactly why we’ve launched a weekly price tracker to help you save before you shop.

Each week, we’ll visit Meijer, Giant Eagle, Aldi, Walmart, Heinen's and Dave's Market— checking prices on everyday essentials.

Those include: 2% milk, a loaf of wheat bread, chicken price per pound, ground beef tray or patty per pound (80% lean 20% fat), 12 dozen white eggs, and toasted oats cereal.

This week, Meijer came out on top with the lowest total for the second week at $14.48 for our six staple items.

If you're willing to shop around, you can snag even deeper discounts on meat, dairy, and pantry goods—especially when you factor in this week’s bonus deals.

We’re also giving you a chance to see how your favorite stores stack up week to week. We’ll compare how grocery prices change at each store each week.

Here's how prices compare across stores this week:

Meijer 

Giant Eagle 

Aldi

Walmart

    Heinen’s

        Dave's Market

        From buy-one-get-one-free meat deals to cereal under $2, our Don’t Waste Your Money team will be keeping an eye on store shelves and sharing what we find.

        Find a better deal? We want to hear from you! Submit your finds through the form below. If you beat our prices, we’ll feature them.

        And if you’re a savvy shopper, always chasing the best deals, we may even join you on your next grocery run.
