Report: Texas And Louisiana Host Two Of America’s Most Overpriced Grocery Stores
(KHLA - Lake Charles, Louisiana) - If you're shopping at these grocery stores in Texas and Louisiana, you're paying way too much. We have all the details.
These days, who has the extra money to overpay for anything? Well, I guess more people than I thought, because otherwise these two grocery stores would go out of business. However, they're thriving.

Many people believe if you pay more for something, then that makes it better quality. And I'm still over here dreaming about the day that my hometown will hopefully get an ALDI, so I can pay less than I am now.
Anyways, Delish recently made a list of the most overpriced grocery stores in the U.S.A. and two of those stores are right here in Texas and Louisiana.

The Fresh Market
