For a snapshot of grocery prices 60 years ago, this ad appeared in the Arizona Sun on March 8, 1962. There’s been a lot of inflation in that time period, and according to this online inflation calculator, one dollar in 1962 was the equivalent of $9.31 today. So the dozen eggs for 39 cents look like a bargain, but that would be the equivalent of $3.63 in today’s money.

Some items, on the other hand, really were cheaper back then. You could get three pounds of ground beef for 89 cents. That works out to the equivalent of $2.76 per pound.
