📜 Sentimental Sunday from the Grifton Historical Museum 📜

Check out these grocery prices from The Grifton Times, February 21, 1974…

🥓 Bacon – 99¢/lb
🥚 Eggs – 79¢/dozen
🍊 Oranges – 59¢ for a 5 lb bag
🥩 Round steak – $1.49/lb

And the headline reads:
“Taste Buds Change As Food Prices Soar…”

Seems like some things never change! 👀

What felt expensive then feels like a steal today—and it makes you wonder what today’s prices will look like 50 years from now.

💬 What’s something you remember buying “back in the day” that shocks you when you see the price now?

Come see more snapshots of everyday life through the years at the Grifton Historical Museum—where even a grocery ad tells a story!
