Скачать или смотреть Grocery Shopping in 1965: $20 Fed a Family for a Week - Today: $180 Doesn't Cover It

When America was simpler, a mother could walk into the grocery store on Saturday morning with $20 and buy a full week's worth of food for her family.

Meat, produce, dairy, bread, canned goods—everything needed to feed a family of five for seven days. The cashier knew her name. She paid cash. Walked out with bags full of groceries and change in her pocket.

Today, that same shopping trip costs $180. And it doesn't buy as much. The cashier is a self-checkout machine. The prices keep rising. A week's worth of groceries now costs what a month's worth cost in 1965.

This is the story of how American grocery shopping went from affordable weekly routine to financial burden—and what happened when feeding a family became a luxury instead of a basic expectation.

If you grocery shopped in the 1960s and 70s, you remember what food cost. You remember $20 filling a cart. You remember bringing home bags of groceries without financial stress. That world is gone.
