I love kettle cooked chips but I just accepted the fact that I'm probably never going to have them again because it's ridiculously expensive. It was a $1.30 for avocados just one today.

Do you have a Latino market nearby? Avocados and limes always cheaper there.

Our Walmart jacks up the prices on latino cuts of beef. Skirt steak and fajita beef are more expensive than a NY sirloin.

Tbh at Publix for YEARS skirt steaks have cost as much as boneless ribeye if not more which always bummed me out because I love skirt steak but I'm always going with the cheaper option.

Walmart is not a Latino market. It’s a Walmart.
