I have the grocery shopping list from my grandparents first week of marriage in 1929. It is a long list and totals up to 12.5 cents but that was four days of wages back then.
My first week of living on my own I went to the grocery store since I had zero food in the apartment. I bought all the stuff my mom bought. Bacon and eggs bread and such. After several month the bacon looked kinda green and the eggs would rattle after 12 months. Of course I did buy some food I actually planned to eat. I can remember getting a shopping cart full of food for under $40 but I was only making $12,000 per year then.
Back at work on a Monday morning on the first day of spring. It will be summer heat today, 92 or so. Tomorrow is back to more seasonal temperatures.
