The next biggest lines are frozen grilled chicken strips ($7.99) and green onions ($4.76). $17.58 of the basket - 57% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

Fresh avocado with red potatoes, chicken, and a lemon-yogurt dressing are a winning combination for this main-dish salad.
