Never had that problem with beef from Publix...

My usual grocery bill does not consist of beef, avocado oil, frozen shrimp, and half-and-half.
I also don't normally buy beef other than ground chuck for making meatballs and meatloaf.
A typical random $50 basket of groceries for me: milk, jug of spring water, jar of peanutbutter, jar of jam. A loaf of bread. Salad fixin's including field greens or romaine (or both), a couple tomatoes, an onion, maybe a green pepper if they look good that week. A 6-pack of Pepsi for the spouse. A garlic bulb, a box of ziti or package of lasagna noodles. Maybe a DiGiorno frozen pizza and a dozen "Happy Egg" eggs. That'd be my $50 at Publix.
At Walmart, it'd be the same, but now add some ricotta cheese, some mozzarella, a couple cans of tomato paste, a can of crushed tomatoes, (the tomato stuff is for my lasagna), a bottle of Simply Lemonade (raspberry!), and if I have a coupon, a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
