What DID you put in that basket? $50 -- I fill a huge shopping cart and don't come near that total cost. And yes, I still live alone and still cook from scratch. Oh, that's right. You're in Atlanta instead of reasonableville...and I bet you bought milk (shudder!)

Our grocery has small shopping carts -- about the size of the basket but on wheels. Gets the same effect, but allows those 4 six packs of Diet Coke to be hung on the cart while obtaining the few other items.
