1970s Supermarket | Shopping in the 1970s | Tesco | Time for business | 1977 

When ''pasta'' was exotic.

Yes very good days when you could switch the labels from a cheap product onto a more expensive one and get instant discount (apparently)ha ha

Arrrr the good old days when the shelf’s were actually packed before you started your shopping, nowadays they stock the shelf’s while you shop it’s like an obstacle course. 😉

i wish they had filmed much more. what someone puts in their trolley, what range of items was on a shelf, the brands the costs and the range of different types of items. would be a better document. i saw one woman pushing her items in a box and i wondered if plastic bags were not used, then next woman was using plastic bags. also the queue was so long nowadays there are so many tills, and even more self serve. supermarkets were maybe not as large then.

I find gobbets like these from the late 20th c. much more fascinating than older history. Supermarket shopping aint changed much really.

Wow looking back at my childhood during social distancing makes this footage freaky.

Fasinating, like actually going back in time 🤗

Things were just the same when I shopped at Tesco in the 2000s.

Stores were large, but the long queues were due to the fact that every single items price had to be put in manually by hand (you saw the guy putting a price sticker onto every single tin) - thís is before barcodes and electronic scanners were goods are scanned in a second. Boxes were used for heavier items ánd to save on paper bags - plastic bags only started to make an appearance then - also paper bags would tear easily & everything would fall out. Still mis those days - those ladies were FAST at the tills, but it still took longer than now.

THAT IS A BUSY STORE! It's packed.

The last year of the old pound note - before they introduced the smaller ugly ones. I'm surprised we still had the 1/2p coin in 1977.

Fascinating but why no sound ??? ☹️

Toen was geluk nog heel gewoon!

I wonder what those strange, flat, round things were that the check lady was giving to customers.

Imagine all shit and e numbers in that processed food before the laws came in

Why is it so busy? Were they starving!!!!!!! This is manic!

I actually like those days better!

I cant believe these people lived without wifi and video games...

It surprises me to see so much people look back with joy and say they miss the 70s. Well I guess if you were only a kid back then you were too young to notice how terrible that decade was for England aha. All I remember is the bad... meat shortages, economy crash, power shortages and the oil crisis. The 60s were so fun, colourful and joyful and here comes this brown, dull depressing decade that wiped all the colour out of clothing, furniture and tv shows. The 70s were DULL

Get ready for all the racist comments from the last few brexit types
