JIM: White Cash & Kroger, Columbia, KY Thanksgiving ad - 1957



2017-11-19 - Public Square, Olden Times, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of JIM.
"In 1957, Kroger and "Columbia's Independent Markets" had these hot deals for those shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. For a close approximation of what an item would cost in today's dollars, multiply the price by 8.70. - JIM
Based on that handy calculator JIM provides, the turkey breast on sale in one Columbia Store on Saturday, November 16, 2017, was quite a bargain at $1.29 a pound. That 43 cent turkey cost an equivalent price of $3.74 when the time value of money is factored into the prices. - EW
