Foods Black Families Bought During the 1980s When Money Was Tight (Banks HATED THIS!)

Описание: In the 1980s, money was tight. But black families' tables were never empty. Every grocery trip was a strategy, every purchase a survival plan. This video shows what was really in those years' grocery carts.
Grandmothers worked miracles with sacks of flour. Mothers chose generic brands, but their children never went hungry. Government cheese wasn't something to be ashamed of; it was community support. Kool-Aid wasn't a luxury; it was a beloved drink. And everything was done with dignity and tradition.
This isn't just a grocery list. It's the story of how a generation survived, stood tall, and fed their families.
