Single or 2 portion servings did not exist all was family size. Food had no use by or sell by dates yet almost never something went bad or off. No e-numbers. Foods had more flavour more taste. Meats did not shrink in the pan after cooking. Bonbon fancy chocolates where only bought or gifted at Christmas.
and the cans at the grocery had the price stamped on the can - they didn't expire because if they raise the price women bought the cheapest can.
