For a snapshot of grocery prices in 1965, this ad for Loblaw’s supermarket appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on July 15, 1965.

Chicken was 39 cents a pound, sugar was just over a dime a pound, and a six pack of Pepsi was only 39 cents, plus deposit.

Of course, there’s been a lot of inflation since then. According to this inflation calculator, you need to multiply those prices by about 10 to get the equivalent in 2024 dollars.
