Grocery Shopping Tips your Grandmother knew
Some bits of wisdom seem eternal. Aesop's fables, though written in ancient times, entertain us in the modern era about wise principles by which to live.
People don't live long enough to make all the mistakes themselves, so they rely on the learning experiences of previous generations. Cooking, at one time, was a life skill handed down from the older to the younger.
Cooking for one person in the twenty-first century with better technology and a global variety of foods may seem very different than cooking back in the mid-twentieth century. This short instructional film from 1950 proves, like Aesop's fables, sometimes economic wisdom never goes out of style. Although situations may change with time.
A few aspects of the film may not apply to the single person, current food regulations, and the modern grocery store, but there overarching nuggets of good common sense when it comes to grocery shopping for one person.
- Have you ever walked out of the grocery store buying more than you had planned when you walked into the store?
- How do you know which variety of a product to buy?
- Have you ever been frustrated by having to throw away food?
- Do you wonder which product is the better buy?
These are not contemporary dilemmas. They are situations your grandmother faced. This film has some tips she may or may not have passed onto you. Take them in and pass them on to others, knowledge is only useful if applied and used.
