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%.
Dallas grocery context
DFW is one of the few Texas metros where Aldi has scaled aggressively — North Dallas, Plano, and Frisco are well-covered, while Fort Worth and the south metro are still building out. Tom Thumb (Albertsons), Kroger, and Whole Foods all have strong delivery presence via Instacart. Walmart+ covers virtually every DFW zip with same-day delivery. H-E-B opened its first DFW stores in 2022 and has expanded since, but isn't on Instacart.
North Dallas and Plano shoppers get the best Aldi delivery coverage in Texas — default to Instacart-Aldi for staples. Fort Worth residents should check the dedicated Fort Worth metro page; Aldi coverage thins out west of I-35E.

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