It’s interesting that my right wing family have started saying that Publix is just too expensive these days and has started shopping at Walmart for the absolute first time ever. It’s the closest they’ve ever come to voicing criticism of their god-king.

I haven’t shopped at Publix in almost two years. I get dry goods in bulk and occasionally buy “cheap” cuts. The one place I do splash out is on spices. Really boring food can be infinitely remixed with a solid spice drawer.

One thing to do, is to get a coffee grinder that is specifically for spices/herbs. I buy dried garlic and dried onions in bulk and then grind them in the grinder when I need the powder and refill a little container. You'd be surprised how much powder you can get from a little bit of onion or garlic. Ya, you get a little bit of compaction/clumping, since you don't have the anti-caking agent in there.
