Common questions
What is the cheapest grocery store in El Paso?
This week, Albertsons has the lowest ad prices of the 3 stores we compared in the El Paso area. Its advertised prices on 6 staples average 62% of our typical price. Food City is highest at 69%. The ranking is from weekly ads dated October 28, 2026 and changes every week.
How did you compare the stores?
We take each store's weekly ad price for staples such as eggs, milk, chicken, ground beef, pasta, rice and produce, convert it to a price per pound, ounce or each, and divide by our typical everyday price for the same item. We average that ratio across the staples the store advertises. A store needs at least 5 of the 45 staples in its ad to be ranked.
Are these shelf prices?
No. They are sale prices from each store's weekly ad. The same item can cost more when it is not on sale, and ads vary by store location. Check the shelf tag before you buy.
Does Albertsons have the lowest price on everything?
No. Albertsons has the lowest advertised price on 5 of the 15 staples in the table below. Other stores win on other items, so the best trip may use two stores.
