Not always. I'm penny pinching so much now I have apps for Aldi, Walmart, Food Lion and Martins, all of the grocery stores within about a 40 mile radius. I make a list before shopping and check all four to see who's cheapest that week. Walmart is often more expensive but not always. Aldi has announced it's dropping prices on 400 items and that's pretty brilliant when the knuckleheads at Walmart are announcing price hikes for non-existent tariffs. I suspect it's their fancy store remodels that's paying for, not tariffs. Food Lion often beats both Walmart and Aldi but then other items are more expensive. Martins has good sales but ridiculously more expensive on others and I'm not paying a dollar or more for something just to shop there. Martins was the first store around here to cheat on hamburger by adding gobs of blood so that when you opened a pack you looked like you'd murdered somebody.

🤣 Isn't that the truth!
I remember in the old days, you'd brown ground beef and have a few spoons of fat in the pan. Now I'm trying to boil away all that extra whatever-it-is. Thanks, pink slime! :(
You can actually control the amount of fat by buying lower fat hamburger. You can get it as low as 7%. It's a bit more expensive and actually 20% is supposed to be ideal for flavor. The watery stuff is either blood or they could be adding water. I don't buy any hamburger from any store that does this. Do you have an Aldi nearby? You might want to try them. When I can, I get hamburger from a local farm that's really excellent and not that much more expensive. Just about the best is wagyu hamburger from Heartbrand Beef. It's around $10 a pound if you buy the 12 pound package. It's a LOT better than the little squares of wagyu hamburger at any of the grocery stores. I also like the grassfed hamburger at Aldi. Grassfed is much better for you.
