You'll Be Shocked At These 1947 Grocery Prices!

[@tonifloerchinger3462]

I love frugal living...it makes you think, learn and feel blessed for what you have and are.

[@dawncurtis583]

Before he retired, my dad got frustrated with young home buyers expecting to buy the same large house that took their parents decades to afford.

[@ladyhawk9032]

Exactly!!

[@marilynparmelee]

I'm so glad you did this. It really shows people how good we have it, even when it seems like things are bad

[@RonAnnBeedle]

I love you guys it's nice to know there are still people with common sense in this world.❤

[@des711]

I have a small garden just to enjoy some fresh veggies and to practice growing food incase it will be more of a necessity in the future.

[@wolchfam]

Just Tuesday I purchased 6 lbs of 80/20 ground beef for $1.87 lb. It was a loss leader at Albertson’s (one of my most expensive grocery stores.). Limit was 6 lbs so that is what I bought. Came home and repackaged it for the freezer. I always buy my meat and chicken on sale and put it in the freezer.

[@pam9426]

My mom ( born in 1941) lived on a farm , no indoor plumbing, unless you count a hand pump in the kitchen sink . Flour sack dresses made on a treadle sewing machine . They grew their own food , foraged in the woods for berries to make jam. We are spoiled.

[@tammypierce3250]

You were talking about how we snack so much today and that’s true. I’m in my 60’s and we didn’t have snack foods when I was a child. If we wanted a snack it was a piece of bread or a piece of cheese, soda crackers with peanut butter or maybe a celery stick. Once in awhile we had graham crackers which I loved to dip in milk. No chips, cookies, granola bars, etc.. When I think about it, it’s no wonder that a large portion of the population is obese.

[@LivingOnADime]

Yes we are obese because we never stop eating. :-(

[@judyholliday217]

@tammypierce3250 I am in my 70's and that is how it was in our home, too.I loved to go to my friend's church for Bible school because they had Kool Aid and graham crackers, things we never had at home.😊

[@tammyeflowers]

I'm in my early 30s in Australia and that's how I was taught to snack and how I still snack although fruit is a favourite of mine now too, just one banana or a plum in the morning or afternoon or whatever is cheap at the store that week. If I ate my dinner and was still hungry, I'd have a bowl of plain lettuce 😂 Or a piece of bread with some jam on. Cookies are a dessert for when dessert night is.

[@ruthutter5017]

We have so much to be thankful for.

[@karenkaren5013]

YES WE DO!!!❤

[@kerrynwright]

That was really interesting.... thanks for doing the research on the figures back in 1947 compared to now! I'm not at all surprised that we're much better off these days in comparison! Even when we got married nearly 40 years ago it was different with much lower expectations! We bought a few essential pieces of furniture at thrift stores & the only new items for anything were wedding or engagement gifts! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

[@michellesunshinestar]

At Bible study tonight, the teacher blessed us with PB&J sandwiches. I need to make them more often. It was made with love. We talked about how Jesus loves the sinners. We also went through the history of the song "Amazing Grace", I first heard it when I was at a rehabilitation place. There was a room with a party, and they were singing the song. I snuck in and listened to it.

[@columbasanchez6809]

I want to thank you for your wise information ❤.

[@lindasegraves6207]

Tawra & Jill, I always had cooked chicken and cooked ground meat in my freezer for quick meals for our family. Great shows, Yes God blesses our health even though many die each year but God doesn't promise us a certain amount of time in life. Thanks

[@elizabethmiller9431]

I love it when you call out the bs . Because of your show and cook book I have been out of consumer debt ! It’s true , wants and needs are all mixed up . I also say to myself how bad do I want this ? Is it worth the hours I have to work etc ?

Hi I am in Australia our 27 year old twins are both buying a house each they have never had debt , have 50% deposits and 12 months emergency funds. They worked very hard, 6 days a week both in physical work as arborists did not go out with friends but had a goal and a plan. They did not get any help from anybody but they have lived home with us but they did pay rent to us. They are going to areas they can a ford and looking at houses that are well within their means. It can be done in 2024 if you are prepared to work and sacrifice to reach your goals.

[@andreaarias2085]

Thank you Tawra, Mike, and Jill! You encourage me to economize so much!

[@kathylouise1936]

I agree! Grocery Outlet on 1 13 23. Coffee beans, $1.97 for 12 ozs, I bought 3, funfetti frosting 2 for .97, 40 gall freezer bags $2.99, laundry deter $9.99 240 loads, Markdown avocados 8 large $2, ripe bananas for 20 cents lb, colorsilk hair dye $2.99, 1 lb jelly candies 25 cents each, christmas 75% off, land of lakes 7 1/2 lbs $14.99 each. The deals are there.

[@Myfavorites877]

EDIT: went to get the the boneless skinless chicken breast, and the man in the meat department said he didn’t know why they advertised it because I didn’t send any chicken breast. What good is a sale if they don’t send the product??? Our local grocery store has boneless skinless chicken breast $1.59 a pound and ground beef $2.59 a pound. They also have russet potatoes $1.89 for 5 pounds.

[@amazinggraceranch6793]

Hi guys! How is everyone? Watching the replay, I definitely can’t miss any of your shows ! ❤

[@NanaMom104A]

Between the years of 1987 and 1994 I worked in my brother and sister in laws tiny little grocery store for $2 per hour after taxes. That and my child support of $300 monthly is what I supported my two small daughters on. Tough but I did it. I chose to work for my brother for 30 hours a week because I lived within yelling distance of the store. I did not have to drive far to work, and I did not have to pay a babysitter. I wanted to be with and near my daughters who were dealing with their dad and I divorcing and him moving to Chicago. They needed me and I needed them.

[@ruthwiseman4730]

Another thing that my parents and grandparents never had was credit card debt. Which a lot of people have nowadays because they want their lifestyle. I do have a credit card but it gets paid off in full every month. I got married in 1977 and we rented a small one bedroom apartment for $80 a month which was considered cheap even back then. My husband was working but I was still in school. I furnished our house with hand me downs and garage sale items. A lot of people think everything has to be brand new nowadays. My house is still furnished Mainely with hand-me-downs and resale items . I don't see the need to buy brand new things. It's like I tell my kids it's not always how much you make but how you spend it.

[@nicogray8666]

Thanks for all your wisdom ladies!! May the Lord continue to bless you!

[@RonAnnBeedle]

Welived in a 800 square foot house for 30 years. Saved enough money to build a new house by not buying unnecessary things.

[@loriburgess1866]

Where I see the most increase in costs is in insurances. Health care costs are unmanageable. We are 65. We are currently on Medicare. Five years ago we dropped health insurance and went to a share pay.

[@ameliainpdx1775]

Tawra, When you go to your Safeway/Albertsons store, when you go to the meat department, check the sell by date - if it is within 2 - 3 days of the date you are there, you can see if the meat mgr will discount it more an add'l 25 to 30% & sometimes 50% (even if it is on sale) .... If he will do so the disc sticker will be added to your package. Also ask them when their unposted senior day is - found out mine is first Wednesday of the month.

[@TheBudgetWarrior]

Stainless pan I use a dash of hot vinegar then baking soda. Like you I use a minimal number of cleaners and am a big fan of great value “dawn”.

[@TheBudgetWarrior]

I keep these under the sink for easy access and have not found anything else to easily remove the white scale that builds up on stainless. I think this is the result of hard water.

[@agnesgarnett4414]

Hello from Nova Scotia. You two are so awesome. Thank you for posting this awesome truth.

[@Tvjunkie145]

I agree with a majority of this! My only question would be, and it may be nearly the same.. but what was the rent to income requirement? The properties in my town are a minimum of 3x the rent and some are 4x. Now I’m sure there are the odds and ends apartments they could find some wiggle room on. So really that $1200 apartment you can’t make less than $23 an hour. That being said, yes! Shop smart, work hard, stop the eating out.. life’s hard but it’s a heck of a lot harder when you make bad choices!

[@tonia2483]

Wow guys this is so eye opening food was more expensive back then. We are so spoiled we don't realize how good we got it.

[@karenkaren5013]

[@CookieDoh]

I was talking with my grandma last week and she showed me her high school graduation picture from 1947. She was married a month or so later and had her first of three children in 1948. Times were definitely different.

[@CynthiaRockroth]

I remember having a huge pan of fried potatoes with eggs for a family of 5. And that was dinner. Ketchup and mustard were on the table.

[@hawaiiandawn374]

I love fried potatoes and eggs

[@edefyinggravity]

Just a heads up for seafood lovers: Lent starts on Feb 14 this year, so stores will have big sales on fish/ shrimp and eggs. Even if you don't observe Lent or abstain from meat on Fridays, this will be the time to stock up on those foods that are usually very expensive. This weekend, my local store has varieties of fish for $2.49/lb. That's cheaper than I can get any beef or chicken breasts.

[@denisesnider1939]

Totally agree on the vacuum situation... Love watching your videos

[@kathylouise1936]

I agree, I make my own power wash, laundry cleaner, etc. Peroxide, rubbing alcohol, washing soda, vinegar, borax, baking soda, usually clean most any stain or issues. everything

My local grocery has 15 lbs of potatoes for 2.99 this week. I'm a widow but I'll go through that easily in a month.

[@karenkaren5013]

Wow that's a great price. You can always bake some of them,scoop out the potatoes and make mashed potatoes, put the mashed potatoes back into the skin's and freeze them. We call them twice backed potatoes and they are delicious ❤.

We have a cabin on in the country somewhere. Before it was rebuilt, we had to use outhouses. Now we thankfully have plumbing and running water. I remember my dad taking a stick and getting the spiders away.

[@jillcooper172]

Oh I remember all those creepy bugs in the out houses. I hated them and dreaded having to use the bathroom at my grandma's. Bees, spiders, flies and mosquitoes ugh.😀😂🙃

[@mje-d7v]

We had an outhouse in the 60's when I was a kid. I was about to sit down once and a bird flew out of the hole! Another time I opened the door and a mouse flew past both holes. In went the cat-bye bye mouse. Yet another time a mommy skunk decided to have babies under the outhouse. Very fitting perhaps...@@jillcooper172

[@marcelazimna1022]

It is good to have perspective.

In my area most of the handicapped and elderly are buying precut fruit and vegetables. They say it's a convenient. The college students buy meal kits out of kroger. ( waste of money) and are too lazy to fix a real meal.

When I was a kid in the 1960s, there was a commercial with the theme, “Food is a bargain.” I believe they said Americans spent 15% on food compared to up to 50% in other countries.

If that’s true, that would be over spending for a family of 4. I’ve never trusted the inflation totals people come up with. I guess if it’s specific to your own city ect.

[@ksewald91]

Jill,I have made bread for years, a big recipe that makes anout a dozen loaves. Family joke that we sacrificed the first loaf immediately. Hot bread, butter and some honey or homemade jam. I would freeze most of it. With a big family it lasted a week. Not as good once it was a day old.😊

Esther from Chicago, a missionary from Korea. I was not able to listen to Jill’s detail recommendations; 1) reduce the laundry, shower with timing, do not use new bath towel every day and so on. All the details that I thought I know by motivated and emotionally moved do not work in reality. I had to practice literally according to what Jill said, especially from early shows, helped me to pay off the mortgage. Ever since I listen to you guys more and try to put them into practice.

[@LivingOnADime]

That's great!

[@NanaMom104A]

I was born in 1960 and left home in1981. I remember my Mama making two big sheet pans of cat head biscuits every morning. Sometimes she would have to make more by supper time. She also made the best corn bread. Another type of bread she made was what I call corn pones which she fried up like pan cakes in a skillet. My Daddy would make up a dough and fry it up in a skillet like Mom did the corn pones if Mom was not able to be home for some reason. Us kids had the best fun throwing small pieces of his bread on the ceiling, if it stuck, we knew it was not done, if it fell back down it was done and we would eat it. There were 8 of kids in the family but two were married by the time I remember. I grew up with 4 brothers, one sister and one niece that my mother raised and by the time we were grown she felt just like my blood sister, not my niece.

[@HomechoolbythePond]

I think part of the problem is the 80's and 90's babies were raised in a generation of excess. No one I knew had one car, or no cable etc. We literally know nothing different and it's just gotten progressively more and more excessive. I cloth diapered, make my own seasonings/mixes, don't use paper towels etc and my parents think I'm crazy.

[@diannthomas7849]

Youre right about the 80's and 90's, that's when everyone discovered credit cards. I used to tell everyone the economy was a house of cards, and I was right. Even in my 20's, I could see what was going on.

[@lindadenneypu6315]

It was "easier" because they cooked at HOME and convenience foods were not the norm. If we would buy REAL food in season, it would help. Plus people weren't as picky. Don't like it dont eat.

Jill, expanding on the recipe for potato soup - used to be simple baked chicken - now all the recipes say to add a can of cream of mushroom soup, a block of cream cheese and some heavy cream and sour cream, and don't forget that pound or so of shredded cheddar. I am so astonished. Not just for chicken, but also for pork chops. Not only are people much more unhealthy, and fat, but how do you "portion" that extra stuff. I like shake 'n bake for pork chops only, but I also do oven fried chicken all the time. Because that's what I like.

100% agree!! We are in such a privileged society and people don't like to hear that, because it removes any responsibility from them. I'm not saying people don't struggle or fall on hard times but for a vast majority of us we are living like royality. We have food banks, charities, shelters, benefits and communities supporting their people. We have far more than they had in the 40s. We have generous government assitance and housing (here in the UK) and I get so cross at people who tell me "They don't get enough" yet they have smart phones, cars, holidays, tattoos, peircings , designer or named brand clothing & shoes, takeaways, nights out etc etc the list goes on! (again not saying people dont truly struggle) We really need to get a grip! I've been with my husband 24 years and we started out with nothing. Wr had 2 children and earning £11,000 a year. We had to scrimp and scrape (literally counted pennies) 15 years later we have 9 children, only living in a small 800sqft and we make the best of our situation. We have an income that puts food on the table and we live within our means. We might not have the fancy car or holidays but we have what we need and don't complain 😊 (the debt free journey continues)
