I would be willing to bet money that the cheapest grocery store in Texas isn’t the one you would expect it to be.

Walmart and Aldi Miss the Mark

I say that because I totally guessed wrong when I clicked into Parade’s story about the cheapest grocery store in each state. My initial thought was that it would be Walmart or maybe Aldi, but nope.

Where You’ll Find Fiesta Locations

If you want to get the most bang for your buck when stocking up on groceries in the Lone Star State, head to Fiesta. Unfortunately, Fiesta only has locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Houston area, and Austin. Those of us out here in the sticks are out of luck. 

Probably the most interesting thing about the list is that Walmart doesn’t dominate it like I figured it would. Sure, it’s the cheapest grocery store in a few states, but Target is actually the cheapest grocery store in more states than any other chain. Didn’t see that coming.

Target Quietly Dominating the Grocery Scene

That’s impressive given the fact that Target is still relatively new to the grocery store game. According to their website, the chain started selling groceries when it opened the first SuperTarget in Omaha, Nebraska. It was probably about 10-15 years ago when Target started selling groceries at the location here in Wichita Falls.  

Walmart had better watch out. Target is coming for them.
