It's finally here for all those who have been patiently waiting! I finished it on Saturday! Here is the base prices(not sale prices) for everything I might ever buy in the Grocery section for Walmart. I compare store circular prices combined with a coupon if I have it to this walmart price book. Sometimes their cheaper, sometimes they're not. For the majority of the things on my list, walmart is cheaper, we don't mind a lot of the walmart generics and I usually can't find these products cheaper than a name brand with a coupon. If I do, I ask Walmart to price match it. Sometimes I don't price match and I go to the store itself just because I enjoy shopping somewhere other than walmart. It is a huge pain to shop at walmart, but the savings are more worth it to me.
*if I prefer a certain brand, it is listed, otherwise, it is probably the generic brand listed. It is organized by isle for the Cedar City Walmart, starting at the back of the store, since I like to finish right by the checkout stands. We buy a lot of reduced fat/fat free products, which I have also specified. Often, the original product is the same price or cheaper than the healthier versions. To make searching this huge list easier, copy and paste it into a word document. Then hit ctrl + F and type the item you are searching for in the search box. Remember, if it's cheaper than this list it is a good deal!

some other items I am working on developing a price book for that I get at other stores are:
pork chops
pork roast
ground beef
beef roast
chicken breast
whole chickens
chicken drums/thighs/etc.
Also, produce is super difficult to track. It varies in quality and location across the nation. I suggest you pick the things you might want to stock up on (for us it's freezing berries, other fruits, etc.) and monitor the prices of only these items. Other than that, try to only eat things that are in season. This gives you a lot of variety and is cheaper than buying a lot of produce out of season. You can still compare circulars for what's in season each week and buy that produce from the store that's cheapest each week or price match at walmart if you get a good deal on produce, sometimes walmart produce and meat are icky, so consider this as well.
