  • Dollar General has hiked food prices more than Walmart and Kroger, Bank of America analysts found. 
  • The analysts visited stores in Dallas in February and compared grocery costs with three years ago.
  • Walmart and Aldi had the lowest prices, according to the analysts.

Dollar General stakes its reputation on low prices. But the chain might not be the best value for groceries.

That's one takeaway from a study by analysts at Bank of America published on Thursday. The study documented prices on a range of grocery items in February at retailers in Dallas, including Walmart, Kroger, Target, Dollar General, and Aldi, among others. The analysts then compared those prices to data collected at the same stores in 2020.
