Meat is the highest-variance category by retailer — Walmart's in-house meat program runs ~30% cheaper than Whole Foods' grass-fed/organic-leaning case for comparable cuts.
Jacksonville grocery context
Jacksonville is Publix country — Publix operates 60+ stores across the metro and is most locals' default grocer. Publix delivers via Instacart with strong coverage. Among our four national services tracked, Walmart+ has the next-broadest physical footprint, with stores in Mandarin, Arlington, the Northside, and Orange Park. Aldi has been expanding rapidly in NE Florida — multiple new stores opened in 2023-2024.
Publix via Instacart is the local favorite but typically 10-15% above Walmart+ on equivalent items. For weekly shopping, Walmart+ or Instacart-Aldi consistently beats Publix on price; Publix wins on prepared foods and produce quality.
