I still remember when I was in my teens and my parents were away, so I had to walk to the market (I didn't drive yet) to get my own groceries. A big bag cost me $10 and I had a tough time walking home since the (paper) bag kept ripping. These days, I can pay as much for just one item, like a container of in-store cooked chicken for my dog!
