Exciting day at the supermarket circa 1962as the Nelson's go grocery shopping.
In which little Betty Nelson snags her own little cart and does her own shopping.
In which little Jack Nelson gets put in charge of the grocery list.
In which the friendly butcher hacks off an extra large veal roast for Mrs. Nelson.
Squealing pet dog "Chipper" gets left in hot car with the window cracked open!
Look at all the cans...
No doubt Dad is hard at work, perhaps in the city at Sterling Cooper.
These were halycon days for supermarket checkers like Helen (pictured below). I don't think the Nelson family drew her in the film however. They must have checked out through a different aisle.
And banana flips.......I grew up on them, haven’t seen one in many years.
I was an adult before I found out you could buy fresh mushrooms. Or asparagus. Everything on our table was out of a can except salad and corn in the cob. 😀
