“There is not just one bad apple in this bunch,” Powers said, adding that most companies who engage in price gouging receive limited consequences.
Because customers generally still have choices to shop at other grocers like Walmart, Thompson said Kroger is unlikely to experience any severe consequences from the FTC.

Yeah, and go to the next grocery store with the same prices and behind-the-scenes policies, and buy the same overprices eggs… But hey, at least they didn’t admit to the lie.
Unfortunately Kroger is the cheapest option where I am. I refuse to support the dumpster fire that is Walmart. Every item at Albertsons and Safeway, especially produce, is at least 50 cents more expensive than at Kroger. Too bad Trader Joe’s doesn’t offer a little more selection. You can’t even get a whole cabbage there.
