Crest White Strips and Iced Coffees Living in the 21st Century, there have been so many changes to grocery stores. In the past, you could never walk into the grocery store and purchase food and clothing all in the same place. While there have been so many changes, our lifestyles have evolved as well. So many people attend the grocery on a daily basis. It also used to be the mother’s job to grocery shop and the now the roles have shifted a little and fathers grocery shop too. Some families even make it an outing and everyone goes to ensure that they have everything they need. So many other stores have added their own grocery sections to compete with grocery stores. Now gas stations and dollar stores have grocery areas when you can purchase small necessities so you won’t have to go to the actual market. Unlike in the past, Wal-Mart and Target also have an electronic department which allows you to make a one-stop shop and get everything you may need. The prices of items have also gone up significantly which causes us to live differently and save more money. I feel as though milk is a perfect example of an item that has changed over the 21st century. We have so many different flavors to choose from and the brands have also branched out by having different extensions of their products, such as iced coffees and smoothies. Another item that has changed our lifestyles over the years that never ceases to amaze me is Crest white strips and at-home whitening kits. A task that once had to be scheduled at a dentist office can now be done at in home in matter of 30 minutes or less. This definitely changes our lifestyle and values because tradition is to attend the dentist but throughout the years we have learned that it is more cost effective and takes less time to do it yourself. Though many people may feel as though our lives are evolving so quickly, everything evolves together. We as people change to accommodate the times and trends.
