"In the midst of a so-called "egg-calypse," you probably want to make sure you're getting the most bang (read: food) for your buck - and that, of course, will depend on where you're shopping. Trader Joe's, for one, is a grocery store beloved for its wide selection of frozen meals, slew of organic offerings, and ever-changing rotation of seasonal items that each seem to have their own cult following."
"At the time of writing, online listings show that a carton of 12 large pasture-raised brown eggs is $5.99 and $5.24 at TJ's and Walmart, respectively. Meanwhile, a New York Angus strip steak is $14.99 a pound at the former and $14.97 a pound at the latter. A single Hass avocado? That'll be $1.49 at Trader Joe's and 87 cents at Walmart."
Trader Joe's generally charges slightly higher prices than Walmart for common grocery staples, though differences are often modest. Price comparisons show a dozen pasture-raised brown eggs at $5.99 at Trader Joe's versus $5.24 at Walmart, and a New York Angus strip steak at $14.99 per pound versus $14.97. A Hass avocado costs $1.49 at Trader Joe's compared with $0.87 at Walmart. Walmart's budget advantage largely stems from its Great Value private-label line, which offers lower-cost alternatives across items like ice cream, chicken nuggets, and sliced bread while providing broad brand variety.
