Do you remember when bacon was sold exclusively in pound packaging and there was none of ten and twelve ounce gimmicks to be found? Ice Cream was also sold by the half gallon and beans were sixteen ounces. Seemed life was simpler then, at least a consumer could shop without weighing the product for some new deceptive packaging scheme utilized to rip one off.
One of my jobs as a kid in high school was working in a grocery store. Stocking and dusting shelves, rotating stock and cash register.
Coffee was a pound, not 10 ounces. Three flavors of potato chips, regular, BBQ and Salt & Vinegar. Not all the dumb flavors they have today. The bags were mostly chips too, not air. Oh, and one of the weekly sales from the meat Dept. what hamburg, 3 pounds for a dollar. Only one variety of hamburg too and it was good quality with just the right amount of fat to make great burgers.
