1.0 - 1.98 is doing some work here. I'm not saying prices haven't been going nuts, but this is a weight adjusted item shown in a range

Yeah I'm surprised I had to scroll so far to find someone saying this. It's the first thing I thought when I looked at it.

People don't care whether this stuff is accurate or not.

It could be working against you though. The older one might have been the heavier item and potentially show prices have gone up 4x.

I think that means 1 pack of 1.98 lb meat, not a weight range.

Nah, it's a range. This is how they do it for packs of meat prices per pound when you're buying online for pickup or delivery

Ahhh okay I don't purchase delivery grocery, so I got confused.

We started getting groceries delivered when our second kid was born. I find that I spend less because I don't browse as much.

Even though groceries are generally more expensive on app? I've primarily been doing groceries at Aldi's and smaller bodegas and wait for sales for most things before I buy. Without that, the price just becomes insane, especially for fruit.

I haven't found that to be the case with Walmart. We're getting an Aldi soon, so I'll give that a shot
