And when grocery stores sold ingredients instead of meals.
and don't forget the green stamps. We all collected green stamps and bought Christmas presents with them.
They're coming back! A man has bought the company and is touring the country making alliances with businesses. I found out about him through Stuckey's, also bought back, by the founder's grand daughter.
When I was a kid, my parents let me have all the green stamps they got, and at Christmas I DID buy almost all my presents at the green stamps store :)
My Gramma saved them up and bought really nice graduation presents for each of us grandkids.
Gram-Gram no has to get up at 6am to start her 60hr work week and wake the kid’s her methhead daughter keeps dropping off for her to raise.
That must have been an American thing. I'm in canada.
What is a green stamp?
That ended because the cabal sold women the idea that having a career was better then being a stay at home Mom. It was arguably the most destructive thing they have pulled off.
They didn't just sell it, they forced it by making everything so expensive that you need two income earners just to keep the house nailed down. Some exceptions may apply.
The expensive bit comes as a result of inflation and the fact that the US (and rest of the world) was duped into, very slowly, moving away from real money (gold/silver) and into fiat currency - thanks to the Cabal central bankers.
And, now that women are working instead of being a mother, if/when they do have children, they need to ship them off to indoctrination camps called public school.
Cabal really had the perfect setup for slavery. Praise the Lord that is all being destroyed, in due time.
Agreed.
I have been saying the same thing for a very long time.
I have been sharing this with woman friends to try to wake them up https://nitter.net/BritMartinez/status/1565528155909144576 Her video and then article in next tweet are great
Uhhh what grocery store do you shop at that doesn't sell ingredients?
Okay. I guess I should have said "back when peoples' groceries consisted of ingredients instead of prepackaged meals."
How is having more choice a bad thing. People are fat as fuck now due to their individual choices. They have only themselves to blame
Have you looked at the ingredients on packaged meals, etc.? Back when people prepared their own meals, they didn't go shopping for things they couldn't pronounce. We've turned our food into chemistry experiments.
The experiments are long over. This is a program now
who is we? I buy incredients and cook them. You don't have to eat those things. People are choosing those out of convenience. You pretend healthy options don't exist.
I don't recall peeing in your breakfast cereal, but if I did, I apologize sincerely.
The post is more about the family values and Not putting everything about your life on a social media billboard. I am sure that in western states and farming communities that a neat white shirt and slacks would have sufficed. Back then the person announcing something out of the blue to gain attention would generally be answered with "well isn't that nice" (or something similar) the the conversation would immediately pivot back to where it had been as if the childish person had not spoken.
it does seem kooky....like a nice pressed shirt was not good enough, so lets button that top button and tie a mini inverted noose around our necks.....bam now we look professional.
FUCK TIES

It was what was presentable at the time, and these people knew they were going to be photographed or filmed and likely the whole town would see them so they dressed up lol.
I've worn sweat pants outside my house maybe twice in the past decade. Once was the day after a surgery on a cyst and I couldn't wear a belt. I like button up shirts, but I need tailored ones. I'm a bigger guy, and work in the trades. I can hulk rip out of the cheap ones you can grab from Walmart etc. It was probably different in the 40s when your average man had muscles rather than office worker twig arms and dick wrists.
I kind of like them as an accessory. But yeah for the store I’m absolutely dressing for comfort
I think it is a trip seeing baseball crowds of years past in suits.
They all had a hat on. Ladies and gents.
Looks like they shopped after church. That's how people used to dress for church back in the day. Though the boy looks a bit shabby.
Wearing a vest cowboy style) Could be a Saturday Birthday Party.. most retail used to be closed on Sundays.... Woman looks a bit casual for church. ... Grand Union is/was a northeast grocery chain (I think) but that convertible make me wonder...
Yep. Blue Laws meant no stopping anywhere "after church." I can't even recall if gas stations were open but they must have been?
Gas stations, drug stores, and other necessary businesses. My father didn't buy on Sunday. He said if everybody did that, all the stores would still be closed on Sunday.
Yeah I lived in Central PA during the blue law Era and it was nice. I don't recall the blue laws in SC pa where we moved from and back to in the same time period but in the north central area it was like a time capsule anyway so maybe that's why
Now its a catch 22. With jobs overworking many of us there sometimes HAS to be buying on Sundays which validates the stores being open but I don't like it at all.
I worked Sundays at one, but the cars looked much different by then..
Back then, grocery stores were open 8-5 Mon-Fri
After hours you went to the 7-11. This is how the 7-11 made its fame.
Back when mom would be available M-F for grocery run.
The only thing I ask is for stores to be closed on thanksgiving.
You're right! Where I lived some stores were open on Sunday (big discount stores), but you couldn't buy clothing for some reason. They seem overdressed for grocery shopping. But I do remember my father almost always wore a tie and jacket to go anywhere.
My Grandmother would never have worn that dress for church, not dressy enough. Also stores were not open on Sundays, nothing was open on Sundays.
That's exactly how my mother would dress. We weren't rich, so she wasn't dripping with jewelry. And the dress itself is pretty much what all the women at our church wore.
Sunday best
If I go to Walmart early in the morning I will not see any pajama wearers. It's too darn early for them. Usually they roll out of bed around 11:00am and then go to wallyworld. I play a game with my son as to who can see the first pajama wearer. Usually neigher wins because I go there at 7:00am. But after 11:00am all bets are off and the pajama people come out in waves. Tattoos are all important to the pajama wearers. They go hand in hand.
Pajama wearers also seem to be the most likely to have kids w/ them that don't look like they have the same Dad.
Pajama-wearers are as bad as the skin exhibitionists. Its like they're advertising how quickly they'd be down for a sexual encounter. "Ready to go!"
Its extra points for Tweety Bird pajamas
Why do you go to Walmart
we shopped on Saturday, Dad would always come because my Mom had polio when she was little and could not walk and put groceries in the cart without his help, she liked the cart because it gave her support. We did no business on Sunday, it was church and Sunday dinner day. No one wore their pajamas in the house, it was straight to the bathroom, get changed, and come for breakfast dressed. I kid the workmen who come to my house now in shorts.Dad always said working men do not wear shorts, period, if they did, they were not working hard enough, as shorts were not appropriate for labor, and certainly not for business. Pajamas were taken off and folded and put under the pillow for bedtime. I was not allowed to go outdoors on Saturday to play, until I did my Saturday chores, which were dusting, vacuming, and stripping the bedding for laundrey and remaking my bed. I yearned to be outdoors more than anything, so I got done quick. Saturdays lunch was always "deli", cold meat and baked beans. The childrens Mass was earlier than the regular Mass, at 8am, so there was no sleeping in on Sunday, which I always resented the Protestants for, because they got to go to church at 10 or 11. I told my Mom I was wondering about turning Lutheran because of that. You can imagine how that went over, with my Irish Catholic Mom!
What I see beside the well groomed family is that family is white Caucasian which is beautiful to me, no tattoos, those beautiful safe cars made in America, no Asians, no blacks and no Mexicans. No multiculturalism which destroys countries. Interracial marriage was not tolerated publicly and divorce was against the law. Fags were against the law in many states.
Operation "Wet Back" occurred around that time when every farm worker Mexican that overstayed their permit was rounded up and sent well beyond their place of origin.
Just a beautiful time to live but the satanic cabal was planning and plotting our future destruction.
We were in a restaurant when a young woman came in wearing flannel like pajama bottoms. (This was a casual, slightly above moderately priced steakhouse, not a chain restaurant.). Our waitress was annoyed, we were amazed. I can not believe how people dress nowadays to eat out, go to church, go to the doctor’s office, etc. I remember when I was a child we wore Sunday dresses, white gloves and dress shoes to attend church! Now people attend in short shorts, ripped jeans and revealing tops! It is so disrespectful in a house of worship. I guess I am old school. and date myself. I wear dressier slacks to go to the doctor’s office, the few times I have to go with my husband, not jogging pants or sleep wear!
I don't go out unless I'm wearing a non-branded shirt, preferably button-down, tucked or untucked depending on feeling or situation, knee-length shorts if it's the summer, jeans or pants otherwise, always a belt, never flip-flops, always wearing socks, and loafers or boots. A brim hat in the winter.
People will respect you if you respect yourself.
The old adage "Dress for the jib you want, not the one you have" applies. But like many things Zuckercluck decided to dress like a hoodrat
I saw a girl wearing nothing but jeans and a BRA as a top (yes, you read that right) here in Florida recently! I guess I shouldnt have been surprised since our culture has accepted skimpier and skimpier items of clothing as the norm, but COME ON!
We didn't cart our groceries to the car back then. The bag boy would take them to the car in one of those tall carts that tipped almost like a handcart.
We could get a cart piled high for just $20.
Now they barely bag your groceries.
They don't give you bags anymore in NY.
At least we have peopleofwalmart.com now.
Kind of unusual, my Dad rarely helped by going to the grocery, men had better things to do.
Well there is a grocery store in the background but tend backs are too the store and none has any grocery bags..... So
My Dad did all the grocery shopping. My Mom didn’t drive, but she made him a list and he went after work every afternoon for the fresh stuff she needed for dinner, and then he did the big shop on Saturday. I used to love to go with him.
Yes, I do remember it. And I also remember when that cartload of groceries cost less than $30.
you should see the certain ones around here
Only a degenerate hood rat would regularly wear pajamas out in public.
Here here!
Ties are good!
People born in the ‘90’s and ‘00’s wouldn’t know this.
Or Aussies, oodies 😅😂🤦♀️
