Y is for Yesterday's Prices, the 1930's.  (A-Z Blogging Challenge)

Imagine how much farther your food budget would stretch if your next shopping trip was based on yesterday's prices (1930's).

• cabbage, 3 cents a pound
• Campbell's Tomato Soup, 25 cents for four cans
• hotdogs, 8 cents a pound
• oranges, 14 for 25 cents
• potatoes, 18 cents for ten pounds
• iceberg lettuce, 7 cents a head
• ketchup, 9 cents
• dozen eggs, 18 cents
• bananas, 19 cents for four pounds
• peanut butter, 23 cents a quart
• loaf of bread, 5 cents
• toilet paper, 9 cents for two rolls
• Brand Flakes, 10 cents
• Camay Soap, 6 cents a bar
• toothpaste, 27 cents
• applesauce, 20 cents for three cans
• chocolate bar, 5 cents
• single-dip ice-cream cone, 5 cents
• milk, 14 cents a quart
• round steak, 42 cents a pound

But remember, the average salary in the 1930's was $1,368.  So probably those people cringed when they went shopping, too, just as we do!
