Presumably, in this sort of midcentury-phantasmagoria Generic Horrible Supermarket, all products come in bulky unnecessary cardboard boxes; in the real world, most products in cardboard boxes need to be and are more conveniently carried home packaged, even for someone going with a backpack on foot.

This part amuses me because most of the things it would apply to are highly processed foods like crackers, cereal, boxed cookies, and so on that comes in a sealed plastic bag inside a cardboard box--stuff that you would think are for indiscriminate consumers and not a thrifty discerning home cook.

The uncharitable interpretation is that this was written by someone who wants to make simple frugal meals but doesn't really cook, so they assume that bulk rice and beans come packaged the same way as their junk food.
