May 29, 2024, 04:30 PM

Walgreens has announced a significant price reduction on over 1,300 products as part of its 'Summer of Savings' initiative, according to a press release. This move aims to cater to inflation-weary consumers and follows similar announcements from major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon Fresh. The price cuts will include a variety of items, including snacks and feminine products. This decision comes amid signs of consumer spending fatigue in the U.S. and is part of a broader trend among grocery retailers like Target, Aldi, and Walmart to lower prices. Walgreens' stock has been sinking, prompting this strategic shift.
