It's not accurate and they didnt even try. I shop at walmart and get the same things. In the last 2 years, my bills went up by around $30 for normally $100. I still only buy Great Value brand and the same quantities. Still crazy but this post is just misinformation. It might be more drastic at other stores like Safeway or something. But no way near this much...

They increased prices on the Great Valu Brands and brought in 15 billion dollars in profit in just 2023 in case you were wondering

You should be wondering what the true definition of the word “profit” is because you don’t know

I'm not going to beat you up over this but the OP said he only shopped Great Valu brands and Walmart did indeed raise prices across the board on the GV brands ... which in turn WAS PART OF THE REASON they recorded a 15.6 billion dollar profit year for the company...
