Walgreens is the latest retailer to announce that it will reduce prices.

“Walgreens understands our customers are under financial strain and struggle to purchase everyday essentials. We continue to be committed to our customers by lowering prices on over a thousand additional items, something we’ve been doing since October of 2023,” said Tracey D. Brown, EVP, president, and chief customer officer of Walgreens Retail, in a statement. “Listening to our customers and offering quality products, value, and convenience every day is our continued commitment.”

Walgreens continues to lower prices on more than 1,300 national and private-label brand products across grocery, health and wellness, personal care, and seasonal categories.

The news comes in the wake of retailers announcing deals to alleviate persistently elevated food and beverage prices. Last Monday, Target said that it would lower the prices of approximately 5,000 frequently shopped items in categories including milk, meat, bread, soda, fresh fruit and vegetables, snacks, yogurt, peanut butter, coffee, diapers, paper towels, and pet food.
