How often did you go to town?
I suppose ... mother needed it maybe once a week, maybe, yeah, well. She goes to sell her eggs and milk, so that, you know, maybe once a week, so. Milk wasn't once a week... I really don't recall ... how often these people bought milk, or cream. Cream, we used to take cream into town, and that was probably did every two or three days, not to go to a big shopping center, just a small town where a train goes through, where to put your cream on train to Edmonton.

Partial Transcript: What did you buy?
Well.., when we were kids, candies naturally were very important, that was our big priority. But on manshop there were staples, like salt, pepper, and sugar, you know, and... I suppose some canned fruits now and then, and probably, tomatoes. And many many staples, even meats like baloney, and maybe sausages or something like that.
But you didn't buy it, right, as you had yours?
Well, we had our own meats, but as I said baloney, that was different type of meat, you know (laughing), 25 cents a pound, I think (laughing). That always tasted very-very good, you know, in comparison what we had at the farm, a meat that was really good ones! (laughing) ... And, basically, as I said, we had our own eggs, our own milk, and, you know, cheese, and stuff like that, so.. what they bought that was staples that we did not have at a farm.
