TikTok creator @__curtdogg received 4.4 million views on a video comparing the prices at Walmart in 2020 to prices from 2023. In the video, he went through a Facebook post from a customer who shared a receipt from a 2020 Walmart mobile order and another more recent one. Many of the items were the company’s Great Value house brand, and the receipts showed a 100% price increase on some products.

“It’s sad/funny. I have doubled my income between 2013 and 2023, yet I’m struggling more than I was back then,” a shopper commented, as reported by Eat This, Not That. Some also accused Walmart of price gouging and encouraged other shoppers to go to Aldi or Costco instead to get better savings.

According to Delish, Aldi is one of the cheapest grocery stores in the U.S. — Walmart wasn’t even on the list. Aldi claims 90% of its products are private-label brands, and the company’s business model is designed to minimize the cost to the consumer.
