I remember Log Cabin Syrup in a glass shaped log cabin.

I loved it when grocery stores just sold food and they did their baking onsite. The smell of fresh doughnuts was so welcoming.

I remember the deafening cacophony of the cash registers of the early 70's. I miss those days!

[denisewoolsey]

Don't forget those coin operated kiddie rides in front of the stores. My favorite part of shopping.

Remember when wine wasn’t sold in grocery stores and stores were closed on Sundays?

I was born in 1956. My mother always cooked dinner everyday. On Sundays she would fix the best roast beef in a pressure cooker. Homemade rolls that she baked on Saturday, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn or green beans. She was a good cook. When we got home from church on Sunday night, wed get the leftover roast and eat it on the rolls. So good.

Women shopped at the same store every week because the stores featured a different piece of matching China they could get according to their purchase. Also stores gave customers s & h stamps according to how much you bought. When you accumulated enough stamps you could visit the s& h stamp store and turn in your stamps for lots of products. Usually kitchen and home items. It was a big deal for the family and everyone went.

I worked at a grocery store while in highschool. I saw so many products and ways to package them come and go with the times. Women would buy Dippity Do and hair rollers while getting Vitalis for dads. They would buy TV dinners, pot pies, Nestle Quick and Tang for the kids. Soda came only in returnable glass bottles that kids would bring in radio flyer wagons the empty containers to collect the .5 cents per bottle. We then stacked the bottles in wooden crates for pickup by delivery drivers. Outside every store was a penny bubble gum glass dome. Grocery bags were brown paper only and bag boys would take everything to your car and load them for you. You never had to guess the price of any item since a price marker had been used by the overnight stocking crew to mark everything. Cashiers would then ring the marked price unless missing a sticker and then would have to call over intercom "Price check on...".

TV Dinners at .98 ea seem expensive given that we were a family of 7. My parents were amazing; we never felt as though we lacked anything. RIP Dad and Mom - I love you forever ❤

I totally remember when you used it have to dress up to go to the grocery store go to church go to the movies and so on and on and so on. Times have truly changed.

The original Prell bottle had that distinctive shape, so you instantly knew it was Prell. We loved Quik and Strawberry Quik Now we are awash in plastics from the grocery store, but when my mom was shopping in the 60s and 70s, the packaging was far more natural. Meats and fruit such as strawberries came in cardboard trays or baskets. Bulk fruit in nets had real string nets, not the plastic nets of today. There were cubbies of paper bags under the produce displays, you would grab one and fill it with plums or cherries or whatever. Mom would reuse the paper bags for our school lunch bags. Not to mention big take home bags were all paper. Laundry detergent came in big cardboard boxes - no bottles. My dad used paper bags as mulch in his veg garden. No wonder we are awash in tons of plastic!

Heat up a TV dinner, set up a TV tray, sit down and watch Gunsmoke.

[carriesmith]

TV diners were the meal that dads would feed their kids while their wives were at a Tupperware party lol.

I remember when people served their life working in a grocery store. They had nice houses, nice vehicles, most had small boats, and fished every weekend. It was odd to have a grocery store worker to be hateful back then. Every one of them I remember took pride in their work. It really does seem that times were much simpler then.

I remember when little toys came in cereal boxes. 😊😊❤

I live in Canada . What I remember about food in the 70s is : Breeze laundry detergent ( power, in different sized boxes ) had either a bath towel , hand towel, or a face cloth in it . Mustard was sold in glass jar that became drinking glasses . Red Rose tea bags came with an ornament in each box .

I remember the wonderful smell around the 8 O'clock coffee grinder at the A&P grocery store ! ❤😊
