that the 1 thing I buy there just went down $.50 or 5%. Something I ordered from Amazon today also went down $.50 or 10%. Everything else I ordered today stayed pretty much the same.

Do you have any proof that Kroger is actually manipulating prices and their wholesale prices have remained the same?

If things go up in price too much, I buy something else, or nothing. Can’t stop shopping at the only large supermarket in the area and one that offers both pick-up and delivery. And even if I could I wouldn’t. Not based on their prices going down, anyway.
