Kroger’s $17M Pharmacy Settlement: How to Claim Your Share

Eligible Kroger pharmacy customers who bought certain generics in the last eight years may file a claim for a prorated share of a proposed $17 million class-action settlement. The suit alleges insured customers were overcharged because prices weren’t adjusted for Kroger Savings Club discounts. Kroger says discounts were available only to savings-club members and that it does not admit wrongdoing. Claims must be filed by December 21, and final court approval is still needed.

Walmart Wins the Week in a Grocery Price-Comparison Showdown

A shopper compared Walmart’s summer price drops with Kroger and Amazon on items like ground beef, corn, cherries, ice cream, chips, plates and sodas. Walmart usually offered the lowest prices (beef around $5.94/lb; corn 0.25 per ear; 48-oz ice cream $2.50), while Kroger often matched or beat on some items with loyalty-card deals, and Amazon prices fluctuated. The test showed Walmart’s basket totaled $52.32, Kroger’s $58.52, with Amazon not consistently cheaper; overall, Walmart provided the best value for that week, though deals vary by item and retailer.
