I enjoyed your comments. Shopping is indeed different. We didn't have supermarkets when I was a child and as my parents didn't own a car, I think they had the goods delivered. I remember the baker, iceman, and fisho all coming round with deliveries and the milkman still does. Yes, shopping hours have certainly changed. When I travel interstate I notice differences -our shop hours are longer here, food keeps less well as its travelled 3000kms to get here and its so hot, most fruit and veg doesn't like being outside the fridge etc. And yes, I remember Christine's pre-ATM era all too well.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-58349798446164351652012-03-16T02:29:39.329+00:002012-03-16T02:29:39.329+00:00Interesting book!

I ...Interesting book! I adore the retro art, too! <br /><br />I don't use many coupons at all, mostly because I don't GET coupons since I don't get the newspaper! ha! [I read my news online]. And also I rarely ever see coupons for the items I buy anyway, so I just don't bother.<br /><br />I remember those days when markets were only open 8am-7pm... maybe till 9 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.. closed on Sundays. I even remember the days when you could only buy groceries with CASH! *gasp!* Scrounging around for coins to buy milk on a Saturday after noon if you had no cash because there were no ATMs and banks were only open 10am-3pm weekdays and 9am-noon on weekends. CRazy! lol!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-19839424278578761672012-03-12T12:03:45.988+00:002012-03-12T12:03:45.988+00:00Looks like a book I would enjoy I will look for it...Looks like a book I would enjoy I will look for it!

I am not a particular church goer,but there has been a shift in what we do in our leisure time. I guess there is some contribution to a welfare state, people working longer and living longer and generally being healthy. Whilst there is some blame laid at the door of the internet and computer games, I not believe that is the root cause. What a debate!Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-73068365449699053672012-03-11T18:57:26.572+00:002012-03-11T18:57:26.572+00:00Sunday has become just another shopping day over h...Sunday has become just another shopping day over here.

I had forgotten that until you mentioned it.

I'm not very organized when it comes to coupons; I usually forget to use them before they expire or I forget to take them to the store with me.<br /><br />I remember when stores weren't open on Sundays or late at night, except Thursdays. Wednesdays was "early closing" for many family-owned stores, which meant they closed early afternoon.<br /><br />Sounds like a fun read.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
