Me too.

$0.25 per pack from a vending machine in front of the local grocery/drug store. There were 2 newly-minted pennies inside the celophane that I always got to keep for running the errand.

I was also able to ride my Schwin stingray to the same store on any Sunday afternoon with a .22 rifle on the handlebars, buy a box of ammunition for it, a pack of cigarettes, candy bars and Dr. Peppers for myself and tour on out to a (sometimes) dry lakebed and shoot rabbits all afternoon at the age of 9.

(sigh)

Must be a Jersey thing. When I was a kid my dad sent me down to the corner store to get his smokes. This went on for many years....
