Why this category prices the way it does
Canned goods are where private-label dominance shines — Aldi's Casa Mamita and Walmart's Great Value lines undercut name brands by 30-50% on identical specs.
Washington grocery context
The DC metro spans three jurisdictions (DC, Maryland, Virginia) with different grocery scenes. Giant Food dominates DC and Maryland; Wegmans has fanatical loyalty in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Reston, Tysons). Whole Foods is dense across the metro. Aldi has strong coverage in Maryland and northern Virginia suburbs. Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, and Safeway also serve via Instacart. Walmart+ has spottier DC-proper coverage but works well in MD/VA suburbs.
NoVa residents should check Wegmans-via-Instacart — it's the regional favorite for one-stop premium shopping. DC proper residents do best with Instacart-Aldi for staples plus Giant or Whole Foods for fill-in items. The metro's 3-jurisdiction structure means delivery zones vary by zip more than in other cities.

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