There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Out of season produce, if available at all, was super expensive.

I remember that we re-used our coffee grounds. Coffee was pretty expense (relative to our income) and we were addicted to the caffeine even then. Me: What do you mean, re-used your coffee grounds?
