I got out a cookbook today as I have some stale bread that I wanted to make into stove top stuffing and couldn't remember the proportions to add to the bread. In the cookbook was a chart I had done on the cost of food probably in the early to mid 80s. Thought I would share a few with you.
Flour 5# $.89
Sugar 5# $1.89
Butter 1# $.49
Crisco 3# $1.98
Tuna Solid White 7oz. $.69
Guess what I was making more than I am now. Boy would love to see those prices again.
Ouch. Prices have climbed haven't they? Do you still use Crisco? I never have.
ReplyDeleteI still use Crisco in some baking like baking powder biscuits. Most of my recipes were my Mom's and at least they don't call for lard.
