7 Walmart Bettergoods Swaps That Save Money Without Sacrificing Taste
Walmart launched the bettergoods line in 2024 as a premium store brand tier positioned above Great Value, using elevated ingredients to recreate the tastes of national brands at a noticeably lower price.
For shoppers who have stuck with brand names out of habit, bettergoods products offer a way to cut the grocery bill without giving anything up on quality. These are not Great Value products — this separate house lineup is positioned to replace the premium brands at the top of your shopping list.

Bettergoods Hatch Chile Tortilla Chips
Price: $3.94
You get 10 ounces of the bettergoods Hatch Chile Tortilla Chips for $3.94 — compare that to Siete Grain Free Tortilla Chips at $5.48 for only 5 ounces. Both are made with cassava flour and have a similar clean-ingredient profile, making this the clearest side-by-side swap on this list. The flavor is bold and distinct, not generic.
Bettergoods Italian Wood-Fired Margherita Pizza
Price: $6.92
The frozen bettergoods Italian Wood-Fired Margherita Pizza at $6.92 is a $3 savings over the California Pizza Kitchen equivalent at the same weight. The wood-fired-style crust, whole milk mozzarella and tomato basil profile are largely indistinguishable from the premium brand version in both taste and texture.
Bettergoods Orange Mango Sparkling Water
Price: $3.68
At $3.68 for an eight-pack, the bettergoods Orange Mango Sparkling Water saves you $1.79 every time you buy it instead of LaCroix for the same count. The flavoring and carbonation levels are comparable — both use natural flavors with no sweeteners, calories or sodium.
Bettergoods Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
Price: $3.93
The 32-ounce tub of bettergoods Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt saves almost $2 over the same size Chobani whole milk plain yogurt. Both deliver the same thick, protein-rich texture and clean tang you expect from whole milk Greek yogurt with no added sugar. The bettergoods version works equally well for cooking, parfaits or eating plain.
Bettergoods Farmhouse Style Shredded Cheese Blend
Price: $2.67
The 7-ounce bag of bettergoods Farmhouse Style Shredded Cheese Blend (cheddar, gouda and gruyere) at $2.67 delivers a more complex flavor profile than the comparable Sargento blend, which costs $4.47 for the same size. The cheddar-forward blend melts well and works across pasta, charcuterie or eggs without the premium cheese price tag.
Bettergoods Authentic Italian Marinara Pasta Sauce
Price: $6.88
The 24-ounce jar of bettergoods Authentic Italian Marinara Pasta Sauce is a little bit cheaper than Rao's Homemade Marinara while using a very similar clean ingredient list — San Marzano-style tomatoes, olive oil, no added sugar. Food reviewers have consistently noted the bettergoods marinara as the closest match to Rao's at a lower price point.
Bettergoods Cream Cheese
Price: $2.23
At $2.23 for an 8-ounce bar, the bettergoods Cream Cheese saves $1.74 over Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese with no noticeable quality difference. The texture and flavor are smooth and mild — identical to Philadelphia's qualities. Switching just this one item saves nearly $20 a year if you buy it weekly.
