This reusable grocery list is from the 1950s or earlier. This is what they took away from us.
@Natasha_Jay This just reinforces my idea that food must have been so boring in the 1930s, or whenever this was. No mushrooms? No garlic? "Catsup" and mustard as the only flavourings. Both "noodles" and spaghetti but no rice? No nuts. No yogurt. Both cookies and cake called out explicitly, but no ice cream, chocolate bars, licorice, etc. Coffee and tea as the only drinks.
It also suggests such a homogeneous culture. If someone were designing something similar today, they'd almost certainly leave a few blank entries so a family could scratch in staple foods they bought regularly that weren't in the typical list.
