This is a weird list.  I don't buy greens by the oz, they're usually priced per lb.  And if you want to be a budget shopper, you may need to dial back the granola and assorted oat milks.  But just from your list - ground beef and pork sausage are quite high, lemon seems high, and milk seems very cheap - I'm also confused by the things you get organic vs. not.[/quote]

Bagged greens aren't usually sold by the pound because they are 12 oz  or 10 oz.
I use ounce to compare prices but I can multiply by 16 if that makes it easier?

Lidl:

bagged arugula............. $0.45/oz....  $7.20/lb
bagged spinach..............$0.31/oz....   $4.96/lb
bagged baby spinach......$0.45/oz....  $7.20/lb
bagged collard greens.....$0.22/oz....  $3.52/lb

Yeah, arugula and baby spinach are way too expensive here.  A big 1lb "box" of organic baby spinach at Safeway is $5.99 not on sale.  Cheaper on sale, cheaper not organic, you get the idea.  But for me, it's better to get greens that keep better, and they're usually cheaper too: collard greens, kale, romaine hearts, cabbage.[/quote]
