We put bread bags over our shoes in rainy/snowy weather in Illinois when I was a kid back in the ‘60s. Stores used paper bags back then, so there weren’t as many plastic bags around.

I was a kid in the 60's, in Illinois. I'll vouch for that.

Yep, I was a kid in the 60’s, in Illinois. Count me in. We each had one pair of shoes.

I was a kid in the late 60's in Illinois. We didn't have bread bags in our house because grandma baked bread. We did have rubbers to put over shoes so we must have been "filthy rich"

Did kids tease you based on the brand of bread bags you wore? or if they matched? Imagine the horror having white Wonderbread on one foot and whole wheat on the other!
