Walmart Canada has lowered the price on hundreds of key staple items to help Canadians save money and live better Français
Every Day Low Prices can save families, on average, more than $450 per year on their weekly shop at Walmart Canada – the equivalent of over two weeks of groceries MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 16, 2025 /CNW/ - With the rising cost of living top of mind for most Canadian families, Walmart Canada has lowered the every day low price of hundreds of staple items to help Canadians save money and live better, with more to come. Since February, Walmart Canada has lowered the price on hundreds of items, including some fresh fruits and vegetables, bathroom tissue, water, cheese, ground beef and shampoo. This is part of Walmart Canada's mission to provide Every Day Low Prices (EDLP) so customers can rely on consistent, low pricing across the items they're searching for, saving them time and money on their total basket. With Every Day Low Prices, a Canadian family of four can save, on average, more than $450 per year when they do their weekly shop at Walmart as compared to any other major grocery store. * This is the equivalent of more than two weeks of groceries! "Since 1994, we've been helping Canadians save money and live better with every day low prices. At a time when Canadians are feeling more financially stretched than ever, we've lowered the price of hundreds of key items across our stores and website," said Venessa Yates, president and CEO, Walmart Canada. "We want Canadians to know we're working hard to help them save, especially at a time when many are struggling to make ends meet. We know we might not win every day on every single item, but customers can trust that on their total grocery shop they will save money at Walmart." "We know our customers work hard for every dollar, so we're laser-focused on bringing them the lowest price that we can on their basket every time they shop with us," said Sam Wankowski, chief merchandising officer, Walmart Canada. "That's the core of our Every Day Low Price philosophy – and it helps customers complete their weekly shop within their budget. In addition to the everyday prices we're lowering, our customers will continue to benefit from thousands of Rollback offers in-store and on each week." The meaning of EDLP Sam Walton famously said, "If we work together, we'll lower the cost of living for everyone... we'll give the world an opportunity to see what it's like to save and have a better life." On top of these investments in price, Walmart Canada associates continually look for opportunities to find cost savings (Every Day Low Cost) and pass those along to its customers through Every Day Low Prices. EDLP is part of our commitment to helping Canadians save money so they can live better. But what does that actually mean for customers? It means customers can consistently and dependably find low prices at Walmart in stores and online, on the products they're looking for at the quality they'd expect. And when customers shop with us, we're working hard to have consistent stock of these items to save them time - so they can complete their shop without having to go elsewhere. Through it all, Walmart is working to keep prices low so that when customers do their weekly shop with us, they save money. Rollback offers are one of the ways EDLP comes to life at Walmart, lowering our every day low prices even further. Early June marked the start of Walmart Canada's Summer Rollback campaign, featuring over 8,000 new Rollback offers in-store and online. Customers can save on categories like apparel, electronics, health and wellness, and more. Even more ways to save with EDLP at Walmart Canada Along with relying on Walmart Canada's every day low prices to save more on their weekly shop, as the #1 place to save on groceries, Canadians have additional opportunities to save when they shop with Walmart: - Canadians can save even more when they purchase key Walmart Brand essentials, which are on average 33% cheaper than the national brand equivalent sold at Walmart. - Delivery Pass offers subscribers unlimited, free same-day delivery of products at Walmart's every day low prices. - Customers can save money on everyday essentials like baby care, pet care and more through Subscribe to Save, which offers savings of 5% to 20% and convenient automatic deliveries with free shipping and no annual fee for repeat orders.

Walmart makes unexpected change amid egg crisis
Since late last year, the poultry industry has been suffering from an alarming bird flu crisis. Bird flu, also known as avian influenza, is a viral illness that can cause respiratory distress, decreased energy and appetite, low egg production, misshapen eggs, and even sudden death in infected birds. During the last few months of 2024, bird flu has killed 20 million egg-laying chickens nationwide.

According to recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the disease has infected 11 commercial flocks, 48 backyard flocks, and over 2 million birds in the past 30 days across the U.S. Related: Walmart's move to avoid high tariff costs receives harsh response Last month, the department revealed that around 12 million birds were infected with the virus. Amid the startling crisis, many consumers have been flagging on social media that they are facing egg shortages and inflated egg prices in grocery stores. View the original article to see embedded media. Walmart (WMT) even began limiting customers to two 60-count cartons of eggs per purchase last month to tackle shortages. Now, the retail giant appears to be taking further steps to preserve its egg supply. In preparation for Easter, which is on April 20 this year, Walmart announced its new Easter meal kit. The meal contains glazed ham, a bag of russet potatoes, fresh green beans and corn, dinner rolls, etc., and it sells for roughly $42. However, it is missing eggs, which were a key part of Walmart's Easter meal kit last year. Bloomberg/Getty Images The 2024 Easter meal kit contained an 18-count carton of cage-free large brown eggs from Marketside. Eggs are considered an essential part of Easter in the U.S., and some consumers traditionally use eggs for Easter egg hunts for children. Despite the missing key ingredient, Walmart claims that its meal is priced lower than last year's and will be available until April 20. Related: Walmart is cracking down on a growing problem with delivery "Back by customer demand, Walmart is proud to again offer incredible savings on top of its Every Day Low Prices with an entire Easter meal at an even lower average price than last year," said Walmart in a March 26 press release. "Available now through April 20, Walmart's meal serves eight people for less than $6 per person, making impressing guests for Easter dinner or a springtime brunch super easy and affordable." Last year, Walmart's Easter meal kit was priced at $8 per person. Walmart isn't the only business that has had to make major adjustments amid the bird flu outbreak. Many other grocery store chains such as Sprouts, Aldi and Costco have also limited the amount of egg cartons their customers can purchase per visit.

This increase translates to an extra $6 per egg dozen. Denny's later followed in Waffle House's footsteps, claiming in a statement that the "increased cost of eggs" forced it to add a temporary surcharge to every meal that contained eggs. According to recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost for a dozen eggs in the U.S. has spiked by 50% over the past year.
