I was making $1.15 an hour as a bag boy at Grand Union in Red Oaks Mill.
I remember tuna fish was 3 cans for 1 dollar , 5 pounds of sugar was 55 cents and a quart of milk from a vending machine was 25 cents.

Man, you were picking in high cotton!!! In the fall of 1960 I was bagging them taters at a Fareway in Fort Dodge, Iowa for 65 cents an hour--2 years later I bought my first car, a 40 Ford coupe for 100 bucks--Nary a rust spot on it--So many cars that I let get away!!!!!!!!!!!
