So I went to get groceries at Walmart when I first got here. Walmart is reasonable priced. Not sure they have all the fresh fruits although. I was so surprised at the price of oranges grown in FL and the quality! I'm guessing they ship most of them, make some money on that and keep the shitty ones here to sell expensive. haha.
So today, I try a local Publix. I loved their bakery, deli area. Their fruits were a bit more pricier but looked fresher. There fresh veggies looked very fresh and great priced so I stocked up! I get to the meat area and I was surprised to see that FL has it's own chicken fresh at 6.99 lb. wow! Then I saw 3 hamburger patties 80 lean for 4.00. I thought to myself wow I can get a double burger cooked at a fast food joint for 1.00. I passed up the chicken and ground beef. LOL

Yeah Publix is a decent store but can be a bit pricey. I like WholeFoods. They usually have their patties like 10 for 10.00 when on sale and often have other sales.
I buy a side of beef at a time and so I get all natural beef for 4.00 bucks a pound across the board. So, T-bones, ground beef, roast or ??? is all 4.00 a pound. Just have to have a big freezer.
Try to find local folks who can split a side with you, or who offer fresh eggs and such. I get eggs harvested the day I order them from a friend and they are amazing... 5 bucks a dozen delivered. I am sure you can find local folks in ST Aug that will do the same.
Best of luck
