We are spoilt for grocery choice thesdays and don't realise it.

A housewife poses with a week's worth of groceries in 1947 (except milk). It cost $12.50. Of this she feeds herself, husband, 2 kids and a cat.

Lol now it takes at least 10 times that much to get groceries that can feed a family of 4 and a pet on a weekly basis. Before taxes, tariffs, and other fees obviously, and assuming you're not buying them in the middle of nowhere.

@uikakarotuevegeta Are you factoring in inflation?

@Matt85 well obviously it also depends on where you are in the world; food is much cheaper in more fertile regions like Asia and Latin America for example
