Everybody likes to save money, and saving money on groceries—a household's third-largest expense—is a priority for many families.
Denver7's Smart Shopper helps families by tracking prices at four major supermarkets in the Denver metro area.
Each Wednesday, we update our Smart Shopper Price Check with the latest prices of nine essential grocery items from King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart, and Target.
Here is the latest Denver7 Smart Shopper Price Check from November 19, 2025. See the results below, or view them in full screen here.
This week, King Soopers is back on top, beating Walmart for the second time this month! But the Arkansas-based retailer is not too far behind, with only a 0.21 difference.
Overall, grocery totals for staple items have remained consistent across the 29 Smart Shopper price checks, suggesting slight long-term price fluctuations.
#1 KING SOOPERS ⎸ $24.81 |🔻 2.50 decrease
They did it again! For the second time this month, King Soopers has beaten the everyday low price champion (Walmart) at its own game. It's no small feat!
#2 WALMART ⎸ $25.02 | Unchanged
Although it's not the cheapest option this week, Walmart has held the top spot 27 out of 29 times. And we're confident that the nation's largest retailer will once again reign as the low-price king.
#3 TARGET ⎸ $27.21 | Unchanged
While the Minneapolis-based retailer had been gradually raising prices on some staples, overall costs remain moderately low and stable. It comes in as the third-cheapest option this week.
#4 SAFEWAY ⎸ $30.41 |🔻 0.40 decrease
Although it consistently ranks at the bottom of our Smart Shopper comparisons, Safeway still pursues competitive pricing, relying heavily on sales, particularly for meat products.
