Albertsons Companies Disputes Price Inflation Lawsuit
A lawsuit claims Albertsons companies inflated prices on staples like bread, cereal, and fresh produce before offering 'buy one get one free' deals. In one example, olive oil prices reportedly rose from $6.99 to $10.99 one week before a promotion, then dropped 57% once the deal ended. The suit alleges consumers are misled into paying inflated prices for the initial item.

“A lawsuit claims these stores have been doing the same thing on staples like bread, cereal, fresh produce, but it's not the first time.”

“Albertsons companies sent me a statement that said they were actually talking with the AG about this before the lawsuit was filed. They said, quote, we engaged in good faith discussions with the Attorney General's office and strongly disagree with its claims which are based on flawed analysis and data errors.”
