One of the most practical questions when moving somewhere new: where do I buy groceries? And the second question: is there a Costco nearby? Here's the shopping landscape around 89183.
Grocery Stores
Smith's (Kroger) — The most popular full-service grocery store in the area. There are two locations within a short drive of 89183. Good selection, reasonable prices, and a fuel rewards program that saves you $0.10-$1.00+ per gallon at Shell stations. Most 89183 families do the bulk of their shopping here. Albertsons — Similar to Smith's in selection and pricing. The locations near 89183 are on Silverado Ranch Blvd and Eastern Avenue. Their deli and bakery are slightly better than Smith's in my opinion, but that's splitting hairs. Walmart Supercenter — The budget option. The location on Blue Diamond Road is the closest to most of 89183. You'll save 10-15% compared to Smith's or Albertsons on most items. The tradeoff is the Walmart experience — it's crowded, lines are long, and the produce quality is inconsistent. But for pantry staples and household goods, it's hard to beat on price. WinCo Foods — If you want the lowest prices without the Walmart vibe, WinCo is your answer. The nearest location is on Stephanie Street in Henderson, about 12 minutes from most of 89183. It's employee-owned, no frills, and consistently 15-20% cheaper than traditional grocery stores. Their bulk bins section is excellent. They only accept debit cards and cash — no credit cards. Trader Joe's — Not in 89183 proper, but there's a location in Henderson (Stephanie and Warm Springs) about 12 minutes away. If you know Trader Joe's, you know the appeal — unique products, good frozen meals, cheap wine, and a cult following. Worth the drive for a weekly specialty run. Whole Foods — The nearest is in Henderson, about 15 minutes east. For organic produce, specialty items, and that particular Whole Foods experience. Prices are higher (obviously), but they've gotten more competitive since the Amazon acquisition. Prime members get extra discounts. 99 Ranch Market — If you cook Asian food, this is essential. The nearest location is on Spring Mountain Road (about 20 minutes north), in the heart of Las Vegas's Chinatown. Incredible selection of Asian produce, seafood, sauces, and specialty items. Worth a monthly trip to stock up.Big Box and Wholesale
Costco — The nearest location is on Stephanie Street in Henderson, about 12 minutes from 89183. This is where most families do their bulk buying. Gas is typically $0.20-$0.40 cheaper per gallon than surrounding stations. The Costco rotisserie chicken ($4.99 for a full chicken) is a suburban Las Vegas institution. Sam's Club — On Blue Diamond Road, slightly closer than Costco for some parts of 89183. Similar bulk buying experience. If you prefer Sam's over Costco, it's here. Target — Multiple locations within 15 minutes. Target in Las Vegas is what Target is everywhere — a place you go for one thing and leave with $150 worth of stuff you didn't plan to buy. The grocery section has expanded and is decent for basics. Home Depot and Lowe's — Both within 10-15 minutes. You'll visit these more than you think — desert homes need constant maintenance, and these stores become regular stops. Home Depot on Blue Diamond is the closest for most of 89183.Specialty and Ethnic Groceries
Las Vegas has phenomenal ethnic grocery stores, and while they're not all in 89183 proper, they're worth knowing about:
Cardenas Markets — Mexican grocery chain with excellent produce, a full carnicería (butcher shop), and prepared foods like fresh tamales and rotisserie chicken. Several locations within 15 minutes. La Bonita Supermarket — Similar to Cardenas but locally owned. The locations near 89183 have huge produce sections with prices lower than Smith's or Albertsons, especially on avocados, limes, and tropical fruits. International Marketplace — On Decatur Blvd, about 20 minutes west. Filipino, Asian, and Pacific Islander groceries. If you need specific ingredients for Filipino, Thai, or Vietnamese cooking, this is the spot.Shopping Centers
The District at Green Valley Ranch — 10 minutes east in Henderson. Outdoor shopping center with REI, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and restaurants. This is where 89183 residents go for anything beyond basic needs. Galleria at Sunset — 12 minutes east. Traditional indoor mall with Macy's, JCPenney, and a mix of national retailers. It's not the fanciest mall in Vegas but it's functional and close. Las Vegas South Premium Outlets — 15 minutes north. Outlet shopping (Nike, Adidas, Coach, Kate Spade, etc.). Decent deals, especially during sales events. Gets crowded on weekends with tourists. Town Square — 15 minutes north. Outdoor lifestyle center with Apple Store, restaurants, a park for kids, and a good mix of shops. More upscale than Galleria at Sunset.The Delivery Situation
If you prefer not to drive:
- Instacart delivers from Smith's, Costco, and others. Usually available within 2 hours.
- Amazon Fresh delivers groceries in 89183 — usually same-day or next-day for Prime members.
- Walmart+ delivery from the Blue Diamond location. $12.95/month for unlimited free delivery on orders over $35.
- DoorDash now delivers groceries from several local stores.
The Bottom Line
89183 has every grocery and shopping essential within a 15-minute drive. You won't find Eataly or a specialty cheese shop in your neighborhood, but you have the full spectrum from budget (WinCo, Walmart) to premium (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's) within easy reach.
The smartest approach: weekly staples from Smith's or WinCo, monthly bulk run to Costco, and occasional specialty trips to Trader Joe's or 99 Ranch. That combination covers everything and keeps costs reasonable.
