Lieff Cabraser’s Consumer Protection group is investigating allegations that grocery chain Kroger is “frequently” charging consumers full price for items advertised as on sale.

Consumer Reports and several media outlets have reported the results of sending “undercover” shoppers to stores operated by Kroger across 16 states, including Illinois and Georgia. The price test program found expired sales labels led to overcharges on more than 150 grocery items overall, by the average amount of $1.70 per item, or 18.4%. “The findings suggest the typical Kroger shopper ends up paying far more for what they think are discounted items – all during a time of inflation and economic uncertainty,” the report concluded.

The nonprofit and media outlets began their investigation in the wake of revelations from Kroger workers currently in union negotiations in Colorado, who claims the company was making improper profits from long-term price label errors.
