RIP Chipper

Yes, I remember back in the mid-1990's I bought extra groceries for a camping trip and it cost me $60.00 and I thought "Wow!". Today I spend that much for so much less!

Yeah, my dad got paid once a month. By the time pay day came around, we were pretty low on food. Mom would push one cart and pull the other.

But same pay as today.

*Today?* *More like $550!*

More than that unfortunately

Even though past times had their share of tough even tumultuous problems, it really does seem like a better, simpler time.

Every single day. There came a point in my mid-30s when I observed that for all the technology we'd developed to make life simpler, social culture and politics cancelled it out by making life more complicated. And we're worse off because of it. There's no doubt I lived a very idyllic childhood; my father was a successful developer and it allowed us to do things most families couldn't; but the general tenor of the society we tried to build after WWII was a better living standard within the guardrails of simplicity. Now, society can't handle the techno-culture we've built because it seeks no limitations or ground rules -- some with the best of intentions but nevertheless deleterious to human interaction and our very ability to sustain ourselves.

Not at all my friend

You do know 1962 was the cuban missile crisis where everyone was expecting a nuclear bomb to be dropped on their heads and also the year that a riot occurred in University of Mississippi cause an African American applied as a student.

@@texasboy5680 Yes. There's a crisis a week; always has been. We're talking about a socio-economic construct that reflected America's commitment to first principles. No time is without crisis; but there was a time when we trusted that dedicated people with character in positions of power would make decisions in defense of our common interests. That no longer exists today and so we go from crisis to crisis without any sense of direction because our elected officials are more interested in campaigning than actually doing something with the responsibility they've been given. The difference between US leadership when I was a kid compared to now is completely dichotomous; we no longer trust government and that began in the 70s after Watergate. We've never recovered; we're circling the drain.

No, you are missing the part where Jack got 4 cans of soup in the beginning that he picked out.

I think Betty was a pain.

Lol

Agree.😂😂😂

Carrots usually cheaper than strawberries. And she didn’t pick anything high in price. The little boy did get to pick his favorite soups.

+maconsumner The average wage then was 3 to 4k a year. Most making a dollar an hour. A lot like today for many folks. LOL.

newstart49 True, but making money like that back then meant mom could stay at home and take care of the home and family. Now if a guy is making 3-4k a month that's not really enough. They call it progress, but I don't know.....I call it sad.

maconsumner They shove that "progress" thing down our throats- but what they mean is progress for them not us. Now we have both husband and wife working and that is still not enough. We are near the breaking point.

newstart49 Yup, I am glad other people see it like I do. We spend too much time away from what is really important to make money to buy crap we really don't need. Our priorities as a society are screwed and what's worse is it isn't going to get better.

+maconsumner Plus, food tasted better back then. I don't know why they put jalapeno flavor on every damned snack food nowadays. Give me a break!

An orange and nuts or a tangerine in your Christmas stocking was a treat in New England. A pomegranate was over the top , my grandparents would give us one each year .

I agree. Where I came from, this sort of grocery store wouldn't be available to most of the population until the 1970s or 80s. We lived on a farm and had to grow vegetables which were canned to last us the winter. We also produced our own eggs and milk. Therefore, our father would basically just buy sacks of flour and sugar and also oats for our morning breakfast. A little bit of money had to stretch a long way.

Right on. lol

And nobody came to the store with a pair of ass tight pants or short shorts, with a telephone in their hands and yakking nonstop and a screaming brat throwing a tantrum because they don't get their way. I was taught to behave in public or get my ass whipped.

@@sheriheffner2098 Oh please. Shorts were much shorter in the '70s, and there were plenty of screaming brats throwing tantrums in the toy aisles.

@sphinxrising58 - Where was this? I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in the1960's through 2000's And I NEVER heard of ANY store that was open 24/7 until the local 7 Eleven went 24/7 in the late 1970's. Everything closed at 9:00 or 10:00 pm at the latest and NOTHING opened on SUNDAY at ALL until the foreigners started taking over the small "mom and pop" stores in the 1980's. In the large metropolitan cities like New York and Chicago there were places that were open late or 24 hours but even most of them were closed on Sunday and ANYTHING run by Jews was closed from sundown on Friday till sundown on Saturday.

I'm a customer who hates that! l used to have a ex friend in her late 30's who always did that. One time I refused to buy food away from my given list and money (by my disabled mom) so she decided to eat whatever I denied her and left a trail of empty bags and stuff. She was actually buying magazines instead of the food she scarfed down. She had no idea she was well watched and charged $30 along with her magazine stack!

Parents today do not discipline their children that’s why they are brats!

It's because everyplace children look and listen, they're told to hate their parents, government, police,

I like how people dressed with care to go out in public back then and not wearing their pjs to go shopping.

Back then kids weren't taken out in public until they had enough manners they wouldn't shame the parents. Teaching kids to behave in public back then was not an "on the job" thing. They learned those manners at home first. If they misbehaved, it was a solid spanking or Dad's belt and being sent to bed without supper. You used the wrong words or mouthed off, you got your mouth washed out with soap. Kids behaved because misbehavior was not only frowned on, it was punished. The result was if DAD told you to knock it off, you better believe you stopped doing whatever you were doing - instantly. I remember back in that era, on Sunday virtually everyone went to church. Smaller kids attended Sunday School instead of regular services as the long sermons would be a bit much for them. But when you aged out of Sunday School at 7 you were expected to attend regular services. And we did. And we sat quietly. I'm not saying it was easy, but we did it and there were no kids running around screaming or causing a disturbance. I remember how my favorite hymn was "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" because that was always the last hymn sung at the end of the service and I knew WE WERE FREE!!!! But until we left the church we all sat quietly and walked out like little ladies and gentlemen.

@@DoubleDogDare54 I work in retail and when kids get out of control I ask the parents to please leash their animals and prevent them from destroying our store. the look on their faces is worth the effort.

Back then people went to stores with curlers in their hair..wore Pajamas

I wasn't born yet. But I agree with you better times.

Skip to today: people wear their pajamas to the grocery store. What's worse, is they wear pajamas that look like they haven't been washed in about two months (and I live near a wealthier area of my city) I just finished watching a local news story from Detroit where a woman was told she had too many items for the self checkout. The customer was so enraged that she followed the store employee into the restroom and kicked open the stall door and yanked the employee out and beat her on the ground. What - the heck - is happening? Progression or regression?

My dad worked for Henke & Pilott in Freeport, Tx...it became Kroger's when I was about 8 years old.

Tina, I was born in 1962. From the $5.63 total, I'd say we were born in pre-historic times

First off, I was born in 1958, and let me tell you, it was way better in a very important aspect, kids could roam the streets freely without fear of being abducted. Back then, there were no such thing as "helicopter parents" that nowadays have to constantly watch their kids at play.

one thing that was better is we didn't have expressions like BITDay

Um, not sure about the freedom thing. You took your chances with bullies and the neighbor, Mr. Grant, with the beautiful collie would let you help walk him, so I heard. C'mon, Prince likes to walk down the alley. If you tell your parents, he'll kill them. But when found out about another child, you learn this fine gentleman was thought to have been *cured*. Not suggesting I didn't love the freedom myself.

That's not the kids screaming and crying; it's the parents being told how much the bill is.

We would not have kids screaming if they were parents instead of friends

Three - 4 meals worth of meat were in that shop, too!

And $100.00 would be added to the total price...

They're well-behaved because it's a cheesy instructional film. You really think there weren't screaming kids back then?
