What a dollar could buy the year you were born

That is the type of item you can get at a deal on at the drug store if you check the ads. I would say maybe once a month or so, Walgreens has all of their store brand (actually can't tell the difference) tissue on sale for $.99. Their varieties available go up to 184 count. When I see that, I try to get there the day of the sale because the 184s go quick. I will usually buy 5 or 6 unless we still have some at home, and then will just buy a few to restock.

I try to remind myself after a holiday to check out Target or another major retailer. Once, after Easter (or Halloween or Christmas) Target had boxes of Kleenex, the boutique boxes, for 49 cents - because they were holiday themed. Was very excited about this big score.

We do the same. I must confess that my weakness is the holiday M&Ms.

I have some in my freezer from last year that I got for a buck!! Took a bag out put in the candy dish, and gone in a day! They still taste fine. Will use the others for baking

5 pounds of granulated sugar

Back in 1991 you could buy 5 pounds of granulated sugar. Pretty interesting.
