Acme!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fr now look at how society changed and I wasn’t even born in the 80s I’m a early 2000s kid 😂

⁠@@Unknown_816_I was born in 99 and grew up in the 2000s

Now you’re lucky if you find any cashiers working. It’s mostly self-checkouts. Please bring me the Time Machine

I WAS 9 AND WANTED TO GRAB THE WHOLE BOX TOO MOM SAID NOOO

Me too! I spotted that immediately.

I'm 55 and still love them every now and then.🤣

I always choked on it but it was so good..sugar for days!

Wow! Thank you so much. Very kind words.. 😃

I feel the same way. These videos give me so much comfort and bring me right back to my childhood.

I feel the same.

thank yououuuu i got your wonderful vid of the past on my youtube homepage algorithm recommend@@vampirerobot

It's like a KZfaq time machine.

Capitalism and greedy people did away with all that in the Reagan era!

​@@ddub9696 you read my mind.

@@ddub9696Yeah 1980 was kinda the end of that era. After that it went downhill with Reagan,both Bushes as well as Clinton and Obama and now especially Biden.

@@infernicide666nah. It was Reagan. The policy changes enacted by the Reagan administration and the Republicans in power in the early 80’s led to the biggest increase in poverty in the history of the US by the time Reagan was done and Bush came in. They basically set the stage for the billionaires and wealth disparities that we live with today. Reagan changed many laws that protected working people and made it ok for corporations to do whatever the hell they wanted to working people.

@@g-dave8002 I’m not disagreeing with you. You’re absolutely right! What I’m saying is that Clinton as well as Obama kept that going which was WHY we got Trump! He is an effect of this broken system and not the cause of it. He of course did little more than pass a typical Republican tax cut though credit where credit is due he did not get us into any new wars though he was and is still pro Israel. Biden and the current Democrat party is in 2024 what the Republicans were in 2004. Sending billions to Ukraine and Israel and supporting the same authoritarianism Bush and neocons supported. BOTH parties are corrupt and paid for by the Israeli lobby (and yes I’m including Trump in that). Some minor differences on social issues maybe but on the whole no matter who wins Tel Aviv wins.

I was also 14 years old in 1980. I grew up with A&P my mother shopped there all the time in the 1970's. She would by large glass jars of Ann Page Pineapple Preserves and Strawberry Preserves. Their own brands were good quality from what I remember.

I was 8

@@jameswillett7186 And let's not forget the S&H Green Stamps 😸

@@brendaechols5929 I bet you were cute as a button. 😸

I will say people want to go back in time, but one thing I don't miss is waiting in line behind someone trying to write a check lol

@@EmilyEmilyEmily01oh wow, I forgot about that! They had to call the bank and confirm the funds. Took forever 🙄

I wasn't born until 87 but my older brother would have been about 1 in 1980 so I'm picturing my mom walking around the store carrying my brother lol.

Did it have the 360 or 400 ? My Cordba had a 360.

How did he get these videos?

Yep $50 was a full shopping cart! cHard to believe and not everything came in plastic. You could buy milk in cartons or glass and juice in glass or cardboard. things were glass,can,cardboard! Plus those paper bags could be filled and not break.Not all the time!

No, groceries were very expensive in the 70's and 80's, when you adjust the amounts for inflation. $1 in 1980 is the same as $3.65, today. I remember milk was $2 per gallon, so that's 7.30 in today's money. Minimum wage was 2.30/hr.

​@poonksooniger Everything the mainstream media tells you is a lie. Everything the president tells you is a lie. Basically, almost all media and the government are lying to everyone. And they've been doing it for a very long time. Too many people are just too ignorant and believe what they say.

What a difference an age makes!

​​​​@@OhJodi69 Exactly. This is why people need to pay attention in school. Because it's really easy to look at numbers and dream up some broken logic that is painfully wrong but feels seductively correct. Food is cheaper now than it has ever been in history. This is why even in poor countries everyone is FAT. In 2022 the US finally hit disposable income levels spent on food that reached the levels seen in 1980, but only because people are spending twice as much eating out and half as much on food from the grocery store. In 1980 people spent about 8.5% of their disposable income on food at the grocery store. Today that number is closer to 5% so food in grocery stores makes up about 40% less in household spending today than it was in 1980 in real money. Those savings are now being spent in restaurants.

membrane 😂

Ikr? Now you spend 90 bucks on one bag of groceries unless you're just buying top ramen or some other cheap crap you shouldn't eat. And most of the cheap crap isn't so cheap anymore. It's sad.

Oh yes😀

Andp were a bad company they are the reason Pathmark went out of biz in 2015

Love that receipt printing sound. It sounds like someone cutting the cheese. 😂

that's because everything had prices from price guns.made it easy to do.plus people had better work ethics!

Thank you katwill 😊

They're just glorified adding machines.

@@TR47 They were connected to a minicomputer in the office or back of the store.

Nowadays, the computer has to think about it for a min, but then spits it out like lightning.

Plus no GMO foods! Very diffrent time! i moss those days of decency and common sense!

Agreed, but I don't blame the food companies. I blame the people for being lazy and stupid.

High Fructose Corn syrup.

they probably couldn't afford it thats why, there was plenty of fat people eating junk food then lol

Pretty sure we still had fat people in 1980

Have no clue what you're talking about. Are you talking about no help BACK THEN or today? There is self-checkout everywhere, today.

@@KingMacintosh2 There has never been packing service in Finland or Sweden, customers always packed their own groceries. Also, we do have traditional checkouts still - I'm a cashier in a supermarket, I oughta know, lol. Don't know where you are from but pretty sure they still have cashiers in America as well...?!

@@Fritha71 We do, but self-checkout is slowly taking over. Cashiers are going the way of newspapers and phone booths.

As an American living in Denmark, I am always amazed at how I barely get a scowl from the cashier. Not even a hello or anything. I know it’s just cultural but service levels here are definitely much lower than the US. My mom’s supermarket in the US still has both a cashier and a bagger at each register.

You have to adjust for inflation. $31 in 1980 was like spending $100, today. So those groceries were not cheap.

The grapefruit diet

Me too bro and in 1980 I was only three years old lol but I don’t care to go back to this much better time. I would gladly be three years old again.

I meant I would love to be back in this time

Double bag for God's sake

Need to double bag that one. And pack all the refrigerated and frozen food together.

paper bags were stronger back then, because they weren't made of recycled paper. The were it was long-fiber virgin paper.

That is because today they are all expendable and replacable.

So true and sometimes you get that one that looks like they just hate life altogether, and you were getting on their nerves by coming down their aisle lol

@veganhigler6541 If you mean Jif peanut butter and Kraft stove top stuffing, then yes. I'm old, but I'm not senile yet.

yeah, so much produce

OH my yes that would be funny!

This is what is known as “B-footage” or “b-roll” to cut in with other footage while someone talks over it.

Nowadays, the greenies are forcing people to have the "other ones" by getting the local governments to ban plastic, despite evidence that bans have a negligible environmental impact, and only drive sales of dedicated 'single-use' bags through the roof. Not to mention that New Jersey's extreme version of a ban has even led to heavy-duty reusable bags becoming waste, as the larger stores are banned from using paper.

i think this is queens or one of the boroughs. I was on long island and we had mostly paper bags. So your not crazy!

Ann Page and (later) America’s Choice, Master Choice and Greenway. I still start my day with a cup of Eight O’Clock Coffee.

New Dorp Lane.

@Incomudro yes man i miss the area how it was when growing up sadly i left SI when i was 10 in 1997 moved up to PA

@@drewski1535 Yes, I myself am in central NJ. We left SI about 9 years ago. Wish we could have left 20 years ago, but kids, jobs etc., kept us tied to SI. SI was a great place to grow up for me in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. It's hell on earth there now.

Oooh I loved those as a kid in the 80s.. toasted with plenty of butter or cream cheese. Certainly cant eat like that now!
