What $1 Bought You At The Grocery Store in the 1960s

What $1 Bought You At The Grocery Store in the 1960s Back in the 1960s, a single dollar at the grocery store could go a surprisingly long way, and Mom knew exactly how to stretch every penny of it. From a fifty-cent pound of hamburger wrapped in white butcher paper to a dime box of Jell-O and a pennies-a-packet pitcher of Kool-Aid, Anna walks through 20 things that filled the cart and the pantry. You'll remember licking S&H Green Stamps at the kitchen table, the milkman's bottles clinking on the porch, the percolator glugging away, and the Wednesday newspaper ads circled in pencil. There's the whole fryer Mom cut up herself, the oleo kids had to knead yellow, the banana that quietly disappeared, and the plain white envelope that held the week's grocery money. Watch to the end for the habit that tied it all together, and tell us in the comments what your mother always kept in the cupboard.
