A nostalgic look back at your friendly neighborhood supermarket!
Before there was an Aldi or Lidl store in the town where I grew up,
there was a Food Fair and then, a Pantry Pride store, which
later became IGA, and after that, Save-A-Lot.
Over the years, these stores all occupied the same
building, which was recently vacated by Save-A-Lot,
and is now part of a car dealership.
I well remember the A & P Store in our town too.
If I was good in the store my mother would sometimes give me a
a quarter for the gumball or prize machine in the front of the store.
When I was a real little girl I often took a ride on the coin-operated
western pony outside the store which also cost twenty-five cents.
There was also an Acme Market in our town, which later became the
public library after the store moved it's operations to a bigger space
in a new shopping center a few miles away.
How my mother managed to shop for groceries with all six of us kids
in tow never ceases to amaze me! She's a very brave lady!😁
