the thing about shopping in the 70's is nearly everything was still made from scratch. Grocery stores were small because most of the products we have today did not exist. I remember grocery shopping with. my mom and we would shop at the grocery store, but still went to a deli for lunchmeat, and then to a bakery for cookies and cakes, to a florist for flowers, to Hallmark for greeting cards. To a drug store for shampoo and stuff like that. We even went to a dairy for our milk and yes the stores had milk but my mom still bought it at the dairy.
I bet the food was so good
We use to have a metal box by the back door and milk was delivered. Kinda cool
If you try eating any of these cereals today, you'd be heading to Diabetes town.
I was a cashier in a grocery store in the 70’s. I could make my line move! I loved the old cash registers.
I was a “bag boy”! I remember when there’d be “bag boy” competitions. I always wanted to participate in one (I was good-ood)!
Ah well, so goes our growing. So depressing. Hmm… 🤔
That sounds fun!
Oh and PAPER BAGS at the grocery store. We used them to cover our textbooks. They fit so much more than the plastic ones. Cardboard and glass packaging. Superior.
I’m a Pepper, You’re a Pepper, Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper to (Dr. Pepper jingle). We would be singing this jingle, and dancing, as we walked to our next class in High School. The Coke commercial, with “I’d like to buy the world a Coke ….” was another jingle we would sing. I LOVED being a teen in the 70’s.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I LOVE that jingle! It actually had me trying that carbonated cough syrup they call”Dr. Pepper” with the intention of actually BEING a “Pepper”! For the remainder of that bottle, I WAS a
“Pepper”.
That’s where the story had to end for it was putrid stuff. GREAT song, though!
Me too!
@@smartin4000 I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who has described Dr Pepper this way! So many people love it ! 😅
"You Can be a Pepper, too!!!"
I remember shopping with my mom in the 70s!
Fun I bet it was amazing compared to now
I was a boxgirl at Safeway in 1976. I loved my job! Yogurt was better and there were more flavors to choose from. Knudson was close to Greek yogurt and was delicious. Shopping was an experience back then. Everything was of a much higher quality.
Yummmmy I would love to try 1970s yogurt
I first had “Dannon” yogurt in the 70s. The fruit was packed in the bottom & we had to stir it all together, making for one’s own delicious choice of more, less, or even amount of fruit/yogurt distribution!
I miss that THE most. I loved “Dannon” (sic.?) & wish I could experience it again! Ah well… 🤔🤟
@@smartin4000 You said it! I liked Dannon too! I wish I could have that experience as well! They don't make yogurt like they used to.
@@Laurajaneatelier I know you would have loved it!
Toys in cereal boxes were genius!
When I was a kid,(a long time ago) Kroger had the first curbside pickup….. every cart had a number on it. You bought your items, pulled in front of the store, gave them the number and voila, someone loaded your groceries.
That was over 40 years ago.
I wish still available today
people used to open the boxes alot and take the toys out. there used to be proofs of purchase/bar code things to mail for ... I guess that could have the same problem though, people would take the bar codes off of things
Since i was a kid in the 70s, i would collect proof of purchase off the cereal boxes and send them away for items. Mom would have me help with the groceries by clipping coupons.
im surprised you didn't mention Folgers Coffee. It's mountain grown. the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup
Good call!
And Maxwell house, Good to the last drop.
That Hi-C Grape and Hawaiian punch were the best drinks that came in a can!! Oh so delicious and we'd put them in ice cube trays with toothpicks to make popsicles.
Yummy that sounds good
Wow! Flashback! Yes, had all of these cereals and remember them well. Cereal was such a staple for us kids. It was something you could do yourself too. We still ate oatmeal, cream of wheat and grits too. Hot cereals still prevalent for a time. I remember having Poptarts more as an older kid, the 1980’s. All the drinks. “Juice” and Kool-Aid and sweet tea and lemonade. We never drank water. We didn’t have a microwave until the 80’s and used it primarily for warming leftovers and ever since then too. They aren’t particularly useful. I do like the occasional frozen meal these days. We usually had home cooked foods from scratch growing up and that’s how I raised my family as well. The jello thing… it’s still pretty popular in the Southern United States. We serve a lot of cold salads and meals during the heat of the summer. Thanks for posting!
I sometimes daydream about going back to the mid seventies for just one day. When life was simpler and more fun. It was fun being a kid in the seventies.

Hey Mikey! He likes it!
And..
I am stuck in band aid brand cause band aids stuck on me
Thanks for a great video, as usual! I was a kid and teenager in the 70s. We had Winn Dixie and Piggly Wiggly. We always shopped at the Pig, and my dad actually did our weekly shopping, with an extensive list my mom wrote for him. The piggly ladies loved him and would point out good sales for him..
Yup I was there. Many of the foods have been reformulated since the 70s tasted better then.❤
Swanson's TV dinners were much better in the 70's. They were cooked in the oven, not in the microwave. I also remember Morton's frozen cream pies. They were very good. My Dad used to buy H-C drinks in large cans from the supermarket chain Alpha-Beta.
This was a fun video for me! Thanks. Remember the jingle…My bologna has a first name it’s O-S-C-A-R? 😃
Hi! Laura...I love your channel...I would love to see supermarkets from the decade of the 50s and 60s...I love All the 50s and 60s decades...☺️🥰..Thank you😘
Some popular favorites - Freakies cereal and Betty Crocker Snakin Cake. Yes I loved Hawaiian Punch!
Bless you ❤the 70's thank you
Thanks for watching
I remember after helping put groceries away mom would get out the S&H Green Stamp Book and she'd say hold out your tongue for her to put the new stamps we'd just got from buying groceries into the savings book. Then we loved looking through the "Idea Book." We'd save them up and go to the Green Stamp store when we had enough. Once we got a swing set.
My sister and I were given the task of pasting the stamps in the book. We had little sea sponges to do it but it was still yucky cause that sticky glue would get on your fingers.
I was born in the 60s so I watched all those commercials. The kool-aid pitcher that crashed thru the wall. Occasionally Mom would let me get a sweet cereal loved the Count Chocola and they came out with Boo Berry LOL. My favorite cereal was Post Fortified Oat Flakes. Would go around the house singing the jingles 😂. I'm a pepper, you're a pepper, and we're a pepper too. I can't believe I eat the whole thing which I think was Alka Selzer. Of course the Oscar Meyer song. Also loved the fashion it was kind of an update on the 40s Menswear look or that was what I was drawn too with the platform shoes, which my Mom didn't want me to wear, bad for your feet. 😢 but it was a great decade to be a kid. Just after the moon walk. I now know about Vietnam and I'm married to a Veteran of that war, but I didn't know it was happening. Parents didn't watch the news when I was present. Grew up in the Chicago area we had Captian Kangaroo who is Frank Zapp's Dad, Ray Raner with his duck and cartoons, Bozo the clown. There was also a Bee show and at the end she'd hold a mirror without the mirror in it and say she saw Billy, Mary, etc. I'd wait to see if she said my name only heard it once but was so excited. Sorry for the long comment.
Honeycomb cereal was my favourite!
I grew up in the 70’s so I remember most of these foods and drinks. What’s so sad is that most of all these foods and drinks that we enjoyed back then are said to be causing cancer, specifically colon cancer 😢
Tang started very early I remember it appearing I in the late fifties!
Toucan Sam: “Follow your nose. - It always knows!” (“Froot Loops” animated ads).
This slogan made little sense since this product wasn’t extraordinarily pungent (they smelled like most processed cereals @ that time). Damn!, though, was THAT a catchy phrase (I STILL say it on varied occasions)!
Another note; “Tab” diet cola is featured in the late 80s film, “Scrooged”. It’s all we diabetics had (for colas) & it was gro-oss !
Anyhoo, looking forward to your next post, LJ (they’re so relatable & unique)! Thanks. 🙂👍🤟🙏😉
Watch it wiggle, see it giggle, cool and fruity Jello Brand Gelatin of all desserts you'll love the one that tastes so bright and makes such fun. Get Jello brand gelatin make some fun
J E L L O.
Great vid! I didn’t know people back then ate a lot of processed foods as well! I barely saw any fresh food in some of those ladies carts.
That’s true! Maybe they did but probably not as much as today
Love this! Please do a 1980s video!!
I grew up a “juvenile diabetic” in the 70s and all I knew of “diet” tonic (I’m from MA, everyone, bear w/me. Y’all probably call it “soda”) was “Tab”. Goddamn!, was that disgusting!
I’ll also forever miss getting fresh cut meat @ the supermarket deli.
I’ve been awaiting your latest piece, LJ. You never disappoint!
So happy you liked this!
Kraft Mac and cheese was one of my favorites. I ate them all the time.
Moshi
my parents remember these as they grew up in the 70s. when I was in middle school/high school late 90s/mid 2000s the cafeteria had a snack closet that sold yogurt among other things we also had a good humor Ice Cream Vending machine in the Cafeteria
The 70s were my childhood years (Gen-xer born in 71) and to me, it was a big treat to have the occasional Hostess powdered sugar, cinnamon, or chocolate frosted donuts - I also used to drink chocolate milk made using Nestle Quik out of the canister
Apple Jacks! (And Fruit Loops...and Lucky Charms...and Frankenberry...and Cap'n Crunch). Thanks for reminding of Honeycomb! Sorta-kinda liked Raisin Bran.
This reminds me of the local supermarkets I wish still were in business. I miss those days. 🥹🥲
Aww I know it sucks
Those soft drink bottles were glass. There was a large area dedicated to receiving the returned bottles at my store.
That entire shopping cart at :59 probably totaled up to no more than $25.00; and even less if what looks like a six pack of bottled beer in there wasn't there...
I was born in 1974 so I remember the late 70's, going shopping with my mom and I remember the stores looked very close to the way it did in ur video...I use to just love the Coca-Cola Christmas commercial where they formed the shape of a Christmas tree🎄 and they sang that song...."I'd like to buy the world a Coke......" and I use to like the commercial for tootsie pops..."How many licks does it take to get the the center of a tootsie pop?"
Lucky Charms was one of my favorite. BTW, Tab was not very yummy.
Loving this! Fun to look back in time with so much familiarity.
N E S T L E S, Nestles makes the very best….
C H O C O L A T E…🎵😃
💕💕
Black and white label foods. Space Food Sticks. PDQ flavored instant eggnog with collector auto caps. Krazy Straws.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s i reaiize now how unhealthy we ate. My Mom made home cooked meals . We only went to McDonald's on birthday parties unlike now. I remember all those foods in the video. We used to make our own ice cream sundaes after school. I remember Alphabits and ET. cereal and Pudding Pops,Popcicles ,We lived off of Kool aide. Bugles , Old Dutch chips and Wagon Wheels were very popular. We where super active in those days always playing outside.
Plain Doritos were the best for cheese dip. Wish they’d bring them back.
hi- again- just luuuuuuuv your vids--- thank you---so only because you asked- had Hawaiian Punch (in new york)-- was packed in my lunch bag for school... I loved it at the time- occasionally mom would buy it after begging... but UGH!! - I don't know how I drank it.... I now think it's gross....thanks for the memory!
Honeycombs cereal jingle
Honeycombs big, yea yea yea, it's not small, no no no, Honeycombs got a big big bite, big big taste in a big big bite 😂, stayed with me all these years, lol
Now I want honeycomb
I don’t know why you don’t audition to become an anchor newswoman I think you have what it takes, and the right voice in the right face for it ?? Seriously!!
Awe haha that’s nice of you
I’m an Oscar Meyer Weiner, etc was a big one. I miss those killer cereals so much. They are all delicious but one that wasn’t mentioned was Apple Jacks. That stuff was different. Hit the bloodstream running. Should’ve been called “Apple Crack” 😂
Generation X memories!
Love pop culture videos! ❤️
Every family get together or potluck included so many salads or deserts containing jello brought by someone’s nana or great aunty 😅 SO MUCH JELLO
I think you could use a couple of different pictures 😮
Ahh, I remember food shopping with my Mom in the 70's ! I always stood on the back of the cart while my Mom causally smoked her cigarette looking through the shelves, Good Times!! Lol!
Captain Crunch
FOOD JINGLE, FROSTED LUCKY CHARMS, THEIR MAGICALLY DELICIOUS 😂😂😂😂
PaT Boone and his Premium Saltines commercial
MY bologna has a first name its Oscar my bologna has a second name its Mayer. I have to eat if every day and if you ask me why I'll say, because Oscar Mayer has a way with b O L O G N A
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You used to be able to get Sara lee pound cake in Canada but not anymore. Gone the way of bugles and Kleenex.
Dang I want to try that cake
Your so fun
96 baby and I loved jello when I was a kid
I know I miss jello
HOMEMADE jello. YES!!!
Cereals tasted better in childhood, especially frankenberry and trix.
I like your lipstick Laura what is it
The best jingles, in my opinion, were in ads from the 60s. They were so darn catchy.
NOTHING TASTE LIKE IT USED TOO ... NONE OF THE HOSTESS SNACK CAKES, DOLLY MADISON, OR ZINGERS ARE GOOD....THE CEREAL IS AWFUL AND SMALL TODAY 😢😢😢
Legendas em português please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙄
Yes to Tang and Hawaiian Punch
