Not a great price but HT had a 2.99lb sale so not terrible.

 What do you have to do to get the sale price?

 Store card.  ALL the big stores here require them for the sales
price.
 Jill really hates the idea but even Publix and Walmart have them
here.

 Publix does not have a "card".  Walmart has something called Walmart+
but that's not the same thing, either.  You don't have to show a card
to get sale prices when you buy anything in the store.  The Walmart+
membership does include free home grocery delivery.  I've taken
advantage of that on more than one occasion.

 Publix does have a card _here_ and also an app for the cell phone.
I'll check on that as they seem to want people to pay by app.  Nope,
not entering my credit card on my phone.  That makes the Publix version
_worse_ than the others here.

Okay, I don't shop using a phone nor would I give a phone any information about my bank.  Don't know a thing about your Publix in Virginia.  I do know I don't need a card at Publix to get sale prices.

This is very smart. Sometimes Jill, you are a tough cookie! Likewise, my phone has no banking information, and it is a regular, old button phone. I can leave it on the street, and no one will touch it. If I drop it, no important information is lost and it cost me 30 USD or so, so no big deal.
I feel very sorry for the young kids dropping 2000 USD iphones with their entire lives on them. Then they start to cry. I've seen it!
