Congratulations on being a citywide sensation!  I have already went shopping.  Spent $130.00.  Got a lot of the same stuff you did.  But some other things too.  So I suppose I can't exactly play.  But I can tell you what I do with my hamburger and chicken I suppose.  lol  -  Barbara

Hard to say for sure....especially on meat, cause you don't mention sizes....but when I go back and look at your list the things I buy seem to be within 10 cents of what you pay.  I pledge to myself never to spend more than 2.99/lb for pork, beef or premium chicken.......Seem to usually buy larger packaging than you...especially on toilet tissue and puddings.......Shrimp frozen in store hear runs $5 - $7/lb.  Got some straight out of the Gulf last weekend for $3/lb.  But delivered pizza here is outrageous...buy the time you add in Pete's buffaloe wings and some cheesy bread...we spend $25 - $30 for the four of us.  So, every so often I buy shrimp instead, make easy, quick Louisianna Fish Fry gumbo and save money!!   -  Barbara
