HEB vs Kroger vs Walmart: where do you actually shop?

I know HEB is the correct answer on the internet. But I want to know what people actually do week to week.

I end up at Kroger because it's closest to me. The prices aren't great but the digital coupons help. Walmart has better prices but I hate the experience. And HEB is worth the drive for some things but I can't justify 20 minutes each way for regular grocery runs.

Is anyone actually doing all their shopping at one store or is everyone running to three different places like me?

Costco for bulk items, HEB for weekly stuff, and I still end up at Walmart at 10pm because I forgot something. Every single week.

Kroger digital coupons are annoying but I save $15-20 a trip when I actually clip them. It takes 3 minutes on the app.

HEB store brand stuff is genuinely good quality. Their creamy creations ice cream competes with Blue Bell. I said what I said.

HEB for meat and produce, Aldi for everything else. Kroger only if I forgot something and it's 9pm.

Walmart grocery pickup changed my life. I don't go inside anymore. Order on the app, pull up, they load it. Under 5 minutes.
