Cheapest Grocery Store in Colorado Springs 2026: Real Price Data
We analyzed prices for 278 products sold at multiple chains across Colorado Springs. King Soopers came out on top with the lowest price on 39 items, while Safeway secured a distant second with 2 wins.
The Biggest Deal in the City: A Safeway Sale
The single largest price gap we tracked came from a temporary sale. Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Thighs were $2.49/lb at Safeway on sale, compared to $6.99/lb at both King Soopers and King Soopers Marketplace. That is a 181% premium at the regular-price stores for the exact same product. The Safeway price was a temporary sale, so this kind of gap depends entirely on catching the promotion.
King Soopers vs. King Soopers Marketplace: Regular Prices Match
The community-submitted data shows that the standard King Soopers and the King Soopers Marketplace format post identical regular prices on the items we tracked. Where a gap appears, it is almost always because one location was running a temporary sale.
Sale-Driven Price Gaps at King Soopers
Here is a breakdown of items where a sale price at King Soopers beat the regular price at King Soopers Marketplace. Note the regular-price columns for context — the base prices match across both formats.
| Product | King Soopers (sale) | Regular price (both stores) | Savings vs. regular |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eggland's Best Cage Free Eggs (36 oz) | $2.79 (sale) | $5.49 | 49% off |
| Simple truth organic chicken | $2.99 (sale) | $3.99 | 25% off |
| Creamy Natural Peanut Butter (16 oz) | $3.49 (sale) | $4.49 | 22% off |
Sale prices are temporary. Once the promotion ends, the two King Soopers formats charge the same amount for these items.
Bottom Line
If you are shopping in Colorado Springs, the community-submitted data suggests two takeaways: the biggest single savings we spotted came from a Safeway sale on chicken thighs, and there is no meaningful regular-price advantage between the standard King Soopers and the King Soopers Marketplace. Watch the weekly flyers — that is where the real savings live.
