She caught them scarfing raw merchandise in the meat department. What is great about this scene is that there is no overly dramatic score, but you hear some peppy, cheesy supermarket music.

Bobby Sherman and the Monkees on Tiger Beat - who needs food?<br /><br />My favorite old time grocery store was in my grandmother's neighborhood. I'm still amazed that she paid for groceries once a month. When I got things for her, I just told the cashier, "This is for Mrs. Shafer."<br /><br />Those were the days. Great post, once again!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Cherdo<br />www.cherdoontheflipside.comCherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.com
