Grocery shopping at Cub Foods in 1996

[@Dearest_Kenyetta]

Back when everything tasted better 😔

[@PracticeMakesPaper]

The old school dorito bag looked so much better

[@kcj6236]

I just can't get over how STOCKED these shelves are lol

[@philtll]

I assume they got it that way because they knew it was going to be featured in this.

[@cheappoetry2798]

Where do you shop? The stores all around my city are always stocked liked this

[@Doug_M]

People still had a work ethic back then. Look at the polls on how many gen Z'ers think socialism is the way to go.

What I was gonna say!!

[@MothersOfMars]

Tell me about it Here in the Chicagoland area it looks like a war zone

[@luxuryqueen42]

That store is so clean and organized 😍

[@AdVictoriam-k5u]

almost as if it was being documented as a reference.

[@edonlin2005]

Very clean. But pretty much any Kroger when mgmt tells people that someone important is coming.

[@newfie-dean5803]

Clearly before shrinkflation.

[@Ekh0es]

Back when $20 got you so much food for the week. Today $20 would get you maybe four items.

I was 37 when this was filmed, married and raising four kids on a single income. Cub foods in Portland, Oregon was our go to store to make ends meet. Looked pretty much like this store, now changed to WINCO and still the same layout.

[@TheWriterNW]

I'm in Portland too. Cub Foods was THE PLACE to grocery shop. They even had a video rental section where you could rent movies too! I miss the 90s so much!

I didn’t even know Cub had stores in Oregon. I thought it was a Minnesota only thing.

Are you sure it was the same Cub foods? I thought at the height of their business, they were only in some midwest states like WI, IA, NE, MI. Mainly just MN. Didn't realize they had a presence on the west coast...

[@troy2000me]

Grocery store stuff is my absolute favorite, especially from the late 80s trough late 90s. I love seeing all the old packaging and prices.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Great throwback video! I like the look of the older logos on those snack foods.

[@cheerstochow8755]

Holy cow the bag of Doritos is actually filled to the top. Look how many you get in a bag

[@philtll]

Not grocery shopping so much as "really seeing the hell out of that chip aisle"

[@BlubberGod]

Nostalgic snackdom 😄. Seems like food tasted yummier then. '96 was fun indeed especially summer of that year ❤. Just subbed btw. Great throwback vids 👌.

[@vampirerobot]

Thanks for the sub!

[@angelsworld1733]

It was=less chemicals

[@EdsterIII]

Food was better. Most everything was better. Now food tastes like either cardboard or they've tried to move everything to synthetic or fake meat, and it's nasty.

[@TheWriterNW]

I remember Cub Foods in the 90s... man, I miss the 90s so much!

[@ville666sora]

Never would have thought as a kid that going grocery shopping with mom or dad in the 90's was something I'd miss as an adult lol. I loved sitting in the basket part of the cart and being pushed around the store while my parents shopped. Sometimes I'd lay down on my belly on the underneath part of the cart and pretend I was flying. One particular store around me had miniature carts for kids to push around which was fun.

[@kisekinomahou]

Insane. Look at the bags of chips. It's ALL chips and NO air.

[@rziggyservices]

My dad used to get those generic "one pound" potato chips all the time (1:52). I think they came with 2 shiny bags of wavy potato chips. Thank you for the memories!

[@ville666sora]

Mine too. We pretty much always got the "generic" or store brands when I was growing up because we were poor, not to mention my dad was a self proclaimed cheap skate lol. He would say he was bringing home "Blizzards" for us and we'd get all excited thinking he meant Dairy Queen, then he'd come home with a carton of cheap vanilla ice cream from the store and a bag of m&ms lol. He just handed us a bowl of ice cream with m&ms thrown on top and told us to stir it up.

[@laurenchristianna2092]

​@@ville666sora😅😂😂. That's hilarious and I bet you look on those times with misty eyes even though you had off brand blizzards. 💚

[@larrylaffer3246]

Glad to see Old Dutch has barely changed in almost 20 years. The Butter Spindles are my favorite.

[@angelastcyr1781]

Wow, u can tell how much bigger the bags and boxes of snacks were back then. Thanks for video!

[@ville666sora]

True. Now they charge you more for products that have shrunk in size, and often have had their formula changed to make them cheaper to produce so they aren't as good.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Always liked those classic designs on the Doritos bags. Completely forgot about the Taco Bell and Pizza Hut deals, I at least vaguely remember the Taco bell one.

[@melissak9750]

My hometown! Crazy that some of the packaging for some chips hasn't changed. Cub looked much more like a warehouse back that - I forgot about that!

[@philliesphan9364]

Potato Chip/Pet Food aisle. That's a combo I've never seen before.

[@hhhhhh-vj2uc]

back when chips were cheap and not filled with air.

When the camera went down the cookie isle, I was looking for Mother's Cookies, lol. I miss that brand.

[@laurenchristianna2092]

Mothers cookies. 😅

[@HeyKim0012]

Look at how many snack products have the color green on the packaging. The 90s were big on baked and low fat.

[@gabrielbenitez9257]

I miss those classic designs of Doritos, Lays, Pringles, Cheetos, Ruffles etc.

This brings back a lot of memories and emotions. I remember going grocery shopping with my Grandparents in the mid 70's at Cub Foods when you had to use a crayon to mark the prices on the cans and other items. Back before all of the electronics made scanning simpler and easier. I used to love this as a little boy.

[@scruffyjanny555]

I was 11 when this was filmed. Used to love going grocery shopping with my mom to Cubs in Portland Oregon (now Winco) got a sub from me out of this. I’m a nostalgic old fart and this channel really scratches that itch.

[@oneminuteofmyday]

Cub used to take expired coupons, which helped so much with our grocery budget. I would get them from other people who shopped elsewhere. It was great.

I can't believe somebody took a video of this. I remember Cub Foods. The store that used to make you bag your own groceries and sold everything cheaper because of it. Now, we're all unpaid employees of the grocery stores and we all pay high prices.

When I went to watch one earlier today, I saw that you removed them from your KZbin account and I cannot watch them anymore. Please consider reposting them on your channel in the future since The Cosby Mysteries is not available to watch any other way. Thank you for your consideration.

[@tcidolfan]

I've only been to a cub foods store once in the Chicago area. From the looks of this one it used to be one of those warehouse type stores?

[@mrnasty02106]

True. Store chain options are much less around Chicagoland these. Jewel-Osco is the only, major retailer from the old days, that is still around (and not what it used to be). The competition is weak and flawed. Cub made a stupid mistake and pulled out in 2008. We shopped at Cub Foods for all big orders, from the early 90s (when a store opened by us), until 2008. Jewel was used at our convenience. I miss every aspect of shopping there years ago.
