While everybody is familiar with Walmart — the company operates 10,500 retail units under 46 banners in 24 countries and e-commerce websites and is the largest U.S. private employer — some may be less familiar with its smaller, more targeted store: Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Walmart launched its Neighborhood Market line in 1998 and contrary to regular Walmart stores, they are usually located in urban areas. They are also reportedly about one-fifth the size of Walmart Supercenters.

With 700 locations, they also made Hello Sensible’s list of the top 10 cheapest grocery stores, even though they tend to be more expensive than Walmart Supercenters due to a much smaller volume of items and overall less stock.

Indeed, inflation data was worse than expected in June, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing 9.1% for the 12 months ending June, a new four-decade high.

The food index increased 1% last month, bringing the increase to 10.4% for the 12-months ending in June, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending February 1981, the BLS data shows. This is also higher than the overall inflation rate.
