Why this category prices the way it does
Dairy is the most regionally stable category — milk and eggs track USDA market reports closely, so the price gap between services is usually under 25%.
Austin grocery context
Austin is the global headquarters of Whole Foods Market — the original store opened on Lamar Boulevard in 1980. Whole Foods has a denser Austin footprint than any other US metro, and many locals consider it the default grocery. H-E-B and its premium sister-brand Central Market also operate widely. Among our four national services, Walmart+ has the broadest geographic coverage and best price for non-organic shopping.
Austin's organic culture makes Whole Foods feel like the default, but a $30 Aldi basket gets you the same calories for half the price. Mix Aldi (via Instacart) for staples with one premium item from Central Market or Whole Foods per week to balance budget and quality.

Service fees, delivery, and tip all depend on basket size — the cheapest per-item service isn't always the cheapest overall.
