take me back to 1968 for ham salad

Sep 29, 2024

Facebook sucks… until it doesn’t. Someone shared an ad placed in the Giveaway in 1968 from my parent’s grocery store. Free delivery with a $5 order.

McKain's Market ad from 1968

So what could you get with that 5 bucks?

  • 3 doz eggs
  • 3 pounds of bologna
  • 1 pound ham salad
  • 1 pound potato salad
  • head of lettuce
  • bottle of salad dressing
  • 20 pounds of potatoes
  • 6 pot pies
  • 2 pounds french fries
  • 2 pounds bananas

And… they’ll shop for you and deliver it to you all for that $5 dollar bill.

What I wouldn’t give for the best ham salad ever made — for .59 cents a pound!!


Now you know: Due to their long association with humans, dogs have evolved the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet, which would be inadequate for other canid species.
