My fiance made maybe $20k. We ONLY shop at Publix. It is NOT expensive at all. I can walk in there and buy groceries for the week and spend $20-30 less than I would at Winn Dixie or Walmart. Hell, the Publix private label stuff is just as cheap (if not cheaper) than WalMart's private label, and it tastes WAY better. I just bought groceries for the week (and I do a LOT of cooking), and spent $70. That included a bunch of fresh produce and fresh meats.
