November Grocery Totals and have you noticed Beef prices?

I have been finding good deals on Beef.  I have read and heard it's because so many ranchers have cut back on their herds, and in the future prices will be insane.  So whenever I find a great Beef price I am purchasing it.  

I am also utilizing more delivery and order pickup options.  It's worth the cost for me (though I have maximized coupon/offers to minimize the fees) to not have to leave home/studio to spend time walking the stores right now.    I have a torn meniscus (an overly exuberant lovely special needs student threw me off balance) and am trying to avoid surgery.  Horrible timing.  

November 1, Walmart 104.93  I'm finding this is the BEST option for pickup as there is no fee.  They also were out of the 48 ounce chicken stock I wanted, and they more than doubled the quantity of ounces in a different size, for the same cost.  That really worked out for me. 

Eight 32 ounce chicken stock.  2 King Arthur bread flour, 2 glass jars of yeast, 4 vegetable stock boxes, 2 Goya beets, 4 Goya Cilantro sauce, 4 Goya tomato sauce, 4 Goya canned hominy, 4 Goya dried split pea pound bags, 1 Goya mixed bean soup pound bag, Gallon of whole milk, 4 Goya yellow rice, 1 Goya olives,  4 Starbucks cold brew boxes (this should last me through the next 3 or 4 months)
