Some prices advertised for groceries at the Pompano Beach Super Market, Atlantic Boulevard at Federal Highway, in January, 1956:
Leg of Lamb, 59 cents/pound
Sliced Bacon, 59 cents/pound
Blatz Beer, $1.19 six-pack
Strawberries, 43 cents/pint
Tomatoes, 29 cents/pound
Potatoes, 25 cents/3 pounds
Saltine Crackers, 17 cents/box
Whole BBQ Chicken, $1.00
The prices sound good, but on the other hand they didn't take debit cards (or have an ATM machine).
