While most of us grew up with supermarkets and shopping malls already existing; some of us remember the family-run grocery stores where your options were often limited. Others might even have had the chance to grow their own food, but once general stores grew bigger and became more convenient, there was no way back. Still, the consumerist lifestyle as we know it didn't happen overnight, and we got where we are now gradually.

Bored Panda has collected a series of vintage photos that take you through different grocery stores across America in the olden days. It’s safe to say we came a long way from grocery shopping in our Sunday best to browsing the aisles in our PJs. But of course, it is only one of many ways shopping malls have changed. From wider aisles and more elegant stores to small homegrown businesses, these cool photos reflect a very vintage life. Take a look at all the interesting photos from a long time ago below and don’t forget to upvote for your favs!

My Mom would do this, except she used bobby-pins instead of curlers (and would wrap a dishcloth around her head). It drives me nuts that some young people look at sitcoms from 50s and 60s and think that women walked around in their good dress, high heels, and perfect hair while they were shopping, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, etc. My Mom wore stretch pants, a soft cotton shirt, and tennies most days while she was doing her work.

I love this! My mom always said that her biggest fear growing up in the 60's was going out in public, having accidentally left a roller in her hair. Seeing this makes me love it so much! Who cares what you look like in public! lol

Notice the mix of product in one area, due to the smaller size of stores in those days. Cookies, crackers, canned good, etc over the refrigerated or freezer section. Now we have whole aisles dedicated to each.

They didn't have the styling tools we have today. Your choices were: 1) sleep in curlers all night, if you could sleep 2) wear them in the daytime like this or 3) sit under a bonnet style hair dryer. I don't miss that. Lol

I wore my hair in rollers like this to the grocery store, restaurant. I wasn’t married. Women wanted to look good. There wasn’t all the electric hair appliances back then. There are trends now and back then. And I will add, women looked way nicer back then. Now they either look like slobs or they look as if to say, look at me-look at me.

When I was a kid I always wondered when and for whom did they ever take the curlers out? They wore them out and about all day, but presumably they slept in them, too. My mom got her hair "done" once a week, slept on a hairdo pillow for three nights and then wore a wig the rest of the week, never washing it in-between visits. I'm thankful for my modern short hair.

Cannot believe they caught women in hair curlers! It was considered a big no-no and I was totally embarrassed if had to go to the store in them. And yes, that was in the 60's. Maybe it was different in the south as it doesn't say where this was.

I got a hitch-hiking ticket as a 16-year-old and mom had to accompany me to court. Not only did she have curlers in her hair, she was also wearing Bermuda shorts, so the lady judge said the way she dressed lowered the decorum of the court so we had to wait until the end and go to see her in her chambers. I got two weekends of work detail.
