    Rummo is an Italian brand, in Ireland they sell the whole range about 20 styles of pasta, sauces, pesto and all the rest. Normally has a really long shelf life, one of the more expensive brands here, but really good.

    Our Walmart near Indianapolis has had iffy produce. I do a once a month trip to aldis for produce. It lasts twice as long. The artisan lettuce lasted for a month in the fridge! I put a damp paper towel in the bottom of the plastic container. And it was so mild and almost sweet. I purchase flats of some of aldis canned goods also, so for my rotational pantry. Stocking up to save and for the events coming. I love your humor!

If I were you I would try to slowly reduce your monthly grocery bill by buying in bulk, comparing prices, shipping your cabinets and kitchen first, meal planning, and shopping multiple stores, if possible. $200 seems VERY tight to me, but I’m sure it could be done.
