Shoppers in southern Colorado are seeing some relief at the checkout line this week as the cost of several everyday grocery items continues to decline.
Each Thursday, KOAA updates grocery prices at the top five stores in Colorado Springs and Pueblo as part of our KOAA Price Tracker. The weekly update helps families keep tabs on rising or falling costs for essential items like meat, dairy, and produce.
In Colorado Springs, we monitor prices at Walmart, King Soopers, Safeway, Target, and Costco. This week, both Walmart and King Soopers remain the most affordable options overall. However, the good news is that beef, milk, chicken, and fruit prices have dropped across the board, making the grocery landscape more competitive.
In Pueblo, our tracking includes Walmart, King Soopers, Safeway, Sam’s Club, and Albertsons. There, shoppers will notice a notable dip in egg and meat prices, helping to ease the strain on household grocery budgets.
Our KOAA Price Tracker is updated every Thursday. You can find the price tracker at the top of our website under the Price Tracker navigation button.
Whether you're shopping for staples or planning your weekly meals, checking the tracker can help you find the best deals in your area.
