Randall’s
Let’s keep it going with the southern part of the US with Randalls, a grocery store chain that’s based in Texas and has been around since 1966. Robert Randall Onstead founded this grocery store on July 4th, 1966, along with R.C. Barclay and Norman N. Frewin.
Originally called Randalls Food Markets, the business was based in Houston and had 13 stores during its first year in operation. Today, it’s a subsidiary of Albertsons Companies and operates 32 stores across the state.
With their primary focus on fresh products like bakery, dairy, deli, produce, and seafood, their groceries come at a hefty price. For instance, the average cost of a grocery bill at Randall’s is around $112, making it the most expensive grocery store chain in America.
But if you’re looking for quality over quantity, Randalls is the place for you. And to sweeten the deal a bit, it also offers a loyalty card that gives you discounts on certain items and a 3-cent discount on gas or a portion of their sales proceeds donated to charity.
I don’t shop in any of them .

I agree that Acme is an expensive food store. However, they offer great produce & meats and the store near me is never too crowded; two incredibly important reasons I prefer to shop there
how about the least expensive in the Northeast
You are correct in saying that Whole Foods is one of the most expensive food stores to do your weekly shopping. However, their meats, cheeses, poultry and other select foods are much more superior than your Walmarts, Publix’s and other food stores.
Also, Whole Foods often have weekly specials on many of their food items-making a little cheaper to shop.
I live in Chicago, and to be fair, Jewel Osco is far from the most expensive grocery store in our area. Jewel has a robust (no fee) Rewards program with rotating weekly promotions. And regular (non-promo) shelf prices are competitive with other grocery stores here. P.S. I do not work for Jewel Osco. Just want to give them a shout-out.
Thank you for sharing your research. My regular grocery store isn’t on your list. Each time I shop, which is about every 4 or 5 days, the prices constantly rise. My last bill of $85.00 consisted of four plastic bags. The regular grocery items I purchase have increased by 2 dollars and a few items even more. I am spending 60 – 70 percent more on food each month.
