1968: Piggly Wiggly stores were giving away up to $1,000 in their "Post Time At The Races" game, and selling "Revere Ware" cookware at "amazing prices."
This week's grocery specials included:
• Turkeys for 39 cents per pound
• Smoked ham at 59 cents per pound
• Scott Towels, in assorted colors, for 27 cents per jumbo roll
• Eggs for 43 cents per dozen
• Random House American Dictionary for 99 cents
The stores gave S&H Green Stamps with each purchase.
