Auch in fruherer Zeit hat die Hausfrau stets mit grosser Gewissenhaftigkeit ihr Haushaltungsbuch gefuhrt und alle Ausgaben genau gebucht. Im 18 Jahrh besass das Geld noch eine viel hohere Kaufkraft als heute. Fur Lebensmittel wie Butter oder Fleisch zahlte man damals etwa nur ein Viertel oder ein Funftel des heutigen Preises, und der Pfennig stand in hohen Ehren. Translation: Household Accounting. Even in the past, the housewife kept her housekeeping diary with great conscientiousness and recorded all expenses precisely. In the 18th century, money still had a much higher purchasing power than today. In those days, groceries such as butter or meat were only paid about a quarter or a fifth of today's price, and the penny was held in high esteem.
