I do not recognise much on your shopping list - but I am really finding your 1950's posts and pictures really interesting
Well done Patsy - brilliant
I'm sure, Patsy, that you've heard about the people who have taken up the challenge to buy their weekly groceries at the food stamp rate of $26.00/week/per person. It wure would have been an easier challenge to meet back then (of course, there were no food stamps back then).
Looks to me like canned tuna is the thing that has gone up the least. I can still find cans for 50 cents.
Of course back then we thought the prices were high also.
Back then we had Ike, and farming was a bad thing to be in...as he was building interstates so our country to look like Germany. There is an irony in there as he defeated them.
We had hope in 1960 that we would get Kennedy. I was just in grade school, but I felt the new hope my father had for a new president...and hell did come as we got Nixon instead.
By the early 1960s Daddy's health fell and he was in the VA hospital with a mental breakdown. I despise all those Republicans who helped put him there.
Lots of parents are falling apart today. But many are so silly they can not even see that we are falling from a 100 story building.
