H-E-B, Walmart grocery prices for staple items hold steady this week

SAN ANTONIO – Shoppers checking out at H-E-B and Walmart won’t see much movement in their grocery bills this week.

Prices for a list of staples tracked across both stores are mostly holding steady — a welcome sign for consumers watching their budgets.

What you’ll pay at Walmart

Here’s where prices stand on some essential items at Walmart:

• Milk (1 gallon): $3.66
• Eggs (a dozen): $1.47
• Tyson chicken drumsticks: $3.72
• Apples (three-pound bag): $2.96 (down one cent)
• Russet potatoes (five-pound bag): $2.77

The only change at Walmart this week is a one-cent drop on a three-pound bag of apples.
