If you live in a rural area, seeing all the posts about different grocery stores might not be all that helpful. For many people, their best options are Dollar General or Walmart. We know many people who live at least 20 minutes even from a Walmart, but live only a mile from a Dollar General. If you find yourself in that category, you might be interested in comparing prices at Dollar General vs. Walmart. I looked at 20 commonly purchased items—the kinds of things you need to run out to buy quickly if you’re out of them—to see how prices compared.
Comparing Prices at Dollar General vs. Walmart on Everyday Items
Of the 20 items I compared, the overall outcome is that Walmart was cheaper for more than half the items. Here’s the breakdown.
Walmart significantly cheaper
The biggest price difference between the stores was on freezer bags, if you can believe it! The cost per bag was more than twice as much at Dollar General for both stores’ generic brand.
Other items that were significantly cheaper (more than 20%) at Walmart were:
sugar, canned beans, liquid hand soap, and shredded cheese
Walmart somewhat cheaper
There were 7 items that were cheaper at Walmart, but only by 20% or less. These included:
peanut butter, rice, dry cereal, diapers, butter, pasta sauce, and flour
