Why this category prices the way it does
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.
San Diego grocery context
San Diego's grocery scene leans heavily on Vons and Ralphs (both Kroger), with Sprouts as the primary organic-and-natural option. Whole Foods has a smaller SD footprint than LA. Aldi opened its first San Diego stores in 2022-2023 (Chula Vista, El Cajon) and delivery coverage is still expanding. The Mexican border proximity means many SD shoppers cross-shop in Tijuana for produce — a habit that delivery services have eroded but not eliminated.
Without strong Aldi coverage, Walmart+ becomes the default cheapest option for most San Diego zips. Sprouts via Instacart is the best produce-and-natural-foods alternative to Whole Foods at noticeably lower prices.
