They could mention how the store is organized to make you walk past all the other displays to find stuff that should go together. Minimum wage at that time was $1.00/hr

5.5 pounds of veal, …
5.5 pounds of veal, dog food in a jar, and strawberries at 19 cents a pound is too expensive. A cart load of food all for $5.63 and no animal cops waiting at the car. Why didnt they go down the cereal isle for some cocoa crispies and sugar smacks? A close up of the checkout would reveal racks of necco wafers, chuckles and those nickle nips, those little wax bottles of sweet syrup, a hollywood candy bar and a 5 cent pack of chicklets. Dad probably raised cain about spending so much. No remotes!

for what it’s worth, the film copyright at the opening title says 1957 and there doesn’t appear to be a car made beyond then in sight.

Poor 1962 shoppers… No Pringles.

To get your nickels …
To get your nickels back for soda bottles, you would literally take them back to the checkout and wait. Another difference is that in less urban areas the checkers would always strike up a conversation if it wasn’t busy. Miss those times.

Wow…look who I …
Wow…look who I just found on YouTube! How goes it? Yes…the poor er nearly roasted in that Chevy. And how about that butcher guy using the ban-saw with no glasses, gloves, or blade guard. Gotta love the 50’s! I’ll take that cart load of groceries for $5.63 though anyday.

If Chipper was left in a hot car here in AZ, the police would have been waiting to arrest them after they bought their supplies of Malt ‘O Meal and Frosted Flakes.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or was that a large JAR of Ken-L Ration DOG FOOD in their cart at checkout?!!!

You have a good eye …
You have a good eye. I did notice, however, that when the butcher handed the parcel of veal to “Mrs. Nelson” that the paper came away clean. If he hadn’t washed his hands in between takes, the paper would have been smeared with (most likely) blood stains. But I must agree; a most unsanitary practice.
The weather didn’t look sweltering–it might have very well been 65 or 70 degrees, so that er spaniel left in the car would have been fine. The warnings only come about with extreme heat.

I noticed the butcher wasen’t wearing any gloves. I guess sanitation wasen’t so enforced back then.

Is that “colourized” or something? I thought it was black and white at first, but then I saw some little patches of colour, like on the cereal box and the oranges.

Okay, it was made in 1957, not 1962…but I bet a lot of boomers SAW it in 1962 or thereabouts. So, whatever.

We pay more for food in the western world than any place else. It’s what the market will bear and all the corporate middlemen with their fingers in the pie. Also thank the Federal Reserve and the fractional reserve banking system for all the inflation thrown into the mix.

ok time for some math….6$ (rounded up) is the cost of a “weeks” groceries in 1962, average hourly wage factory worker, 4$, anual salary 9k. yearly grocery bill: 210$ about, less than 2 weeks wages. i couldn’t do that today on ramen noodles and vitamins. WTF america. real wage does not equal cost of living increases.
