It would never work now, so dangerous to leave our kids alone for a second. Mom used to say her groceries were $10 a bag, back when the bags were paper and held more. Now that's milk, bread and cereal... if you buy the store brand!Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-91704877249960825432012-02-02T15:54:46.641-06:002012-02-02T15:54:46.641-06:00Me too, I'd be lost without one.

My aunt had a family of 10, 2 adults and 8 kids. (not counting any guests) That woman cooked at least 2 full meals a day and prepared a lunch kit for hubby and sack lunches for the kids in school. She could shop and buy two deep carts full, on about $30, and everyone ate very well.Ms. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263882972749791087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-36265334947694987302012-02-02T09:50:45.875-06:002012-02-02T09:50:45.875-06:00great memories! even when i shop for just me, i s...great memories! even when i shop for just me, i still make a list. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-15825298841488681092012-02-02T08:40:54.226-06:002012-02-02T08:40:54.226-06:00I am like your Mom; I make lists too.

I rarely run out of anything.<br /><br />The thing about the cereal boxes is they could make the darned box half the size and still contain the cereal....then, maybe it would fit on the shelves! In our little local store there is one entire aisle devoted to cereals. And I see Cheerios is adding another one....cherrios with peanut butter! Yegods!<br /><br />My aunt who is in her mid-80's still considers a trip to her local Walmart as an outing. I think she knows half the people who work there. For me it is a necessary evil.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-83368447489185727922012-02-02T07:03:44.388-06:002012-02-02T07:03:44.388-06:00The boxes might be bigger but there is less cereal...The boxes might be bigger but there is less cereal in them! This reminds me of an interesting fact...in older houses the cupboards were made for a 10" plate...now plates are 12" to 14" or bigger.ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.com
