Ever wondered where everyone else is spending their grocery budget in certain states? Maybe you’re even curious about where the people in your state are shopping.
The best way to measure these types of findings is to foot traffic for every chain grocery store. Luckily, Wisevoter surveyed to find out America’s top grocery store by foot traffic per state. Some states have updated to be more current in 2024 and some didn’t make the list due to inconclusive data.
GoBankingRates also added the average cost of groceries per state with data sourced from the Consumer Price Index. Here’s the list:
