Why this category prices the way it does
Produce pricing swings with season and source — Aldi and Whole Foods source different supply chains, so the per-pound number on a given week can shift more than other categories.
New York City grocery context
Manhattan apartments rarely have room for bulk shopping, which is why same-day delivery here is a category leader in adoption rate. The five boroughs price differently from each other — Aldi via Instacart serves Queens and Brooklyn but not most of Manhattan; Whole Foods orders now go through Amazon Fresh's same-day Prime delivery (broadest Manhattan footprint); Wegmans Astoria opened in 2020 and changed Northeast Queens pricing overnight. Building access is the silent variable: many NYC apartments require leaving deliveries with doormen or in lobbies, which drives more frequent, smaller orders than the national average.
For Manhattan zips, default to Amazon Fresh + Whole Foods for produce quality and Instacart-Aldi for pantry staples (delivered via Queens/Brooklyn) — splitting the basket saves about 18% versus a single all-Whole Foods order.

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