Notes: We decided to check out Walmart as I wasn't very happy with the produce selection at Smart & Final.  The Walmart here is huge, much bigger than we are used to, and they have a better selection of almost everything so I will continue shopping here.  I felt that it was expensive this week because we bought fish, shrimp and meat plus a big bag of frozen meatballs which was $13.
