Anybody want to join me for lunch today?
We are going to meet at Woolworth's
And I'm buyin'!
(Of course, we'll have to go back
To the late 1950's.


I am going to have
the triple decker ham and cheese sandwich,
A King sized Cocoa Cola
And for dessert,
I'm going to splurge on a banana split!

Grand total (for mine) - 95 cents!

I will join you and your order will be ditto’d by me! Its so hard to believe that prices were ever that cheap but they sure were. We had a Woolworth’s, Roses, and S. H. Kress’s. My brother went with S. H. Kress, after he graduated from King College. He stayed with them for 25 years. Worked up to District Manager and traveled tremendously but it was a great job. About 10 years later he opened his Antique Business.

What fun, Yorkie!!
With those prices, no wonder you are buying! :)
I'd like the Egg Salad Sandwich and Chocolate Malt!
Totalling a whopping .55cents
Can you stand it?
P.S. I'll even bring my own chips!

Sie haben gesagt: “Of course, we’ll have to go back to the late 1950’s.”

Apple pie just 15 cents. With prices like that, my Social Security check would be “long money”. Maybe we can borrow the DeLorean.
