I cut my teeth on the grocery business. My grandparents have owned and operated the same 8 aisle grocery store since 1978. I worked there for 5 years when I was a teenager and I learned many successful skills that help me to be a great couponer and blogger. (Because we had to hand key in the prices when I worked there, I memorized every single price in their store. Now I can recall the price I paid both before and after coupon for every item in my house!)
My grandparents operate their store on a skeleton crew, literally. Ok, not literally. My mom was feeling silly on Halloween and did it. It was just so funny I had to share.
I grew up working in my parents’ store. I wish my children would have grown up working in a family store! What a wonderful experience that teaches so much!
I’m so impressed you know prices so well!! That’s a TALENT!!
I worked for a small hometown grocery in highschool and early college. I loved that job. There is a similar store in south ga where my husband was raised as well.
