    The nearest Costco is 20 miles from me. Walmart would be the next cheapest thing. A lb of meat there is close to $7. Then there’s Shoprite which is usually around $8-$10 a lb. They’ve been sneaking up the last few times I’ve been there. Prices around me are cooked. With a family of 5, a lb of anything that isn’t frozen is gone in 3 days.

      yeesh, is the cost of living really high in general where you are? My wage is shit but at least I can (barely) afford groceries.
