Thanks to a tummy bug my daughter had then gave to me, I'm a day late posting for this week. Hopefully, I'll be back on track after this.
Grocery Shopping
The last time I went grocery shopping, I went to a Walmart Supercenter at which I haven't shopped in a couple of years. I wasn't happy with that Walmart's ground beef selection. Most of the packages were 75/25 (25 percent fat), and I prefer 90/10. There was only one package of 90/10, and it was so bloody I didn't want it touching my other groceries. Therefore, I settled on two 2.25-pound packages of 85/15.
To make matters worse, the packages didn't weigh out as they were marked. The first thing I usually do after I unpack the groceries is weigh out the ground beef so that I can divide it into as many 1-pound packages as I can get, then turn the rest into 4-ounce hamburger patties, then freeze it all for later use. Therefore, for the two 2.25-pound packages I bought, I should've come up with four 1-pound packages and two 4-ounce hamburger patties. In the past when I've bought ground beef at other Walmart locations, the packages have weighed out exactly as they were marked. This time, though, it came out a little below. My hamburger patties took the hit. One was only 3 ounces and the other was 3.5 ounces. It's not a big difference, but it's still annoying.
I suspect that whomever weighs out the beef at that particular Walmart figures if he/she gets close enough that's good enough. Not for me. I'd like to get what I paid for.
