Food prices in 1965 at Nadeau IGA Foodliner are the subject of our weekly history segment.
A full-page ad in the February 11th edition of the Northern Times displays several items including: Bologna at 39 cents a pound, Pork Roast at 49 cents a pound, back ribs 79 cents a pound, and fresh ham at 59 cents a pound.
Some of the other items are facial tissue three for 89 cents; a jar of dill pickles was just 29 cents and a four-quart basket of apples at only 85 cents.
There’s also radishes and onions for 25 cents for three bunches, a bag of apples at 55 cents, raisin pie at 39 cents, and a package of hotdogs at 49 cents, facial tissue three for 89 cents; a jar of dill pickles was just 29 cents and peanut butter 73 cents.
In the 1960s Kap residents didn’t have to venture far to do their grocery shopping and had their choice of several stores to choose from. Thanks as always to the Kapuskasing Public Library for providing us with great topics to write about every week.
