In local history this week, we go back to June, 1970 and what we were paying for groceries in Cochrane.
An ad in the Northland Post of June 11th, 1970 had a heading of “Feature values this week” at C. Fasano Food Market.
E.D. Smith tomato ketchup, eleven ounce bottles, two for 39¢; Rise ‘N Shine apple crystals, seven packs for $1.00, and Florida sweet ripe watermelon, good size each, $1.09.
Moving over to the corner of Fifth Street and 14th Avenue, and Sisco Groceries.
The advertised items included a pack of 12 Schneider’s Red Hot wieners for 59¢, and sausage – we can only assume it’s the famous Sisco sausage, 65¢ a pound.”
Thanks to the Cochrane Public Library for its ongoing support of our history feature.
