SAN ANTONIO – Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story included prices from the stores’ applications, which do not necessarily reflect the prices at the store. To clarify, we are only including prices from the store on the day we purchased those items.
Between stocks and new tariffs taking effect under the Trump administration, many Texas are worried about how much more expensive their groceries might end up being next time they go shopping.
KSAT has been tracking the staples at the grocery store since January. We will begin posting a list each month of the same 15 items and their cost. We are buying the most affordable items, most of which are generic store brands.
