Spent $350 on a single cart of groceries today, nearly lost my mind at how bad it's gotten.
What the hell are you eating? Gold flaked wagyu beef or something?
Not to uncommon if you have kids, live far from a store and need to stock up for more than just a couple days, and or are doing a big ass Costco run.
Millennials look at the 80s like how boomers look at the 50s
This is 1970s, not 80s . Pretty sure a cart full o groceries was way over $20 in the eighties, after a card full of collected grocery chain stamps was saved and turned in. Inflation and all that.
Anyway.. how bout some Suzy Qs, 'Chun King' (is that oriental flavor?), Kraft Mac N Cheese...and Hawaiian punch?
Break out the silver and spic-and-span those no-wax floors; the gobnah's comin ovah to-nite!
I remember back in those days we had time to go to the greengrocer as a separate trip.
Between working her $3 an hour job
At least $3.10 per hour, thank you very much! That's the same as $12.49 now.
Holy crap I was just guessing l didn't think I'd be somewhat accurate.
Some old shithead GOP house rep was talking about how unreasonable a $15/hr minimum wage was because he used to make $4.50 when he was a teen working at a grocery store.
His $4.50 worked out to be $26/hr after inflation.
Anybody else find it funny that her cart is just full of junk? No fresh fruit or vegetables to be seen. Some things never change in America.
Looks to be all grains. I see so much pasta.
Even the picture itself is grainy
Her name is probably Carbra Walters
It wasn't so popular back then, people ate processed food without fear, organic thing became popular more than 20 years later
I stayed at an Airbnb that had old cook books from the 70s. It was all processed crap, they didn't even specify proper measurements, just add one can jalapenos.
The fresh vegetable section is the first aisle in most grocery stores that I can think of. Any fresh fruit or vegetables she got would be at the bottom.
That’s insane. Sure they’re in the first aisle but they’re either sitting in the baby seat or making their way to the top as I’m loading other stuff.
I don’t like my fruit and veg all battered and bruised.
But her husband likes his fruits and veggies the same way he likes his wife...
Hey don't talk shit about sea shell pasta
Therenwas a time in the mid century where these things would be seen as great innovations. All the nutricional (i.e. Calories) without the hassle. Vitamins were discovered during the first half of the 20th century and it would take a while for science to conclude that all this processed food was total junk.
