Long ago memories
Ihappened to find a Fredericksburg Standard newspaper dated November 21, 1962. Included are grocery item prices at Nebgen Supermarket. The store is no longer in existence. The prices are as follows: pork sausage was 39 cents per pound, pork steak was 49 cents a pound, rib roast was 69 cents a pound, T-bone steak was 89 cents a pound, a five pound bag of flour was 39 cents, a two pound package of bacon was 79 cents, a one pound of sugar was 99 cents, a five pound of oranges was 35 cents, canned corn for 10 cents each, canned peas for 49 cents, a two pound block of Velveeta cheese was 69 cents and a two pound can of coffee was $1.19.
