Food Nostalgia Part 2

More memories from childhood. However, it must be noted that mom and dad didn't buy us about 90% of this stuff. We just didn't have disposable income and most of these items were luxury items. (at least from a kid's point of view). As an adult, I can easily see why mom didn't grab these items at the grocery store. They were expensive and drastically increased an already high grocery bill. We never bought stuff like this for our kids either. When money is tight these types of things just don't fit the budget.

No Squeezits--- Kool-Aid was cheaper.
Pre-packaged cheese and crackers? Nope! Regular cheese and crackers was much more cost effective.
Planters cheese balls? No way! Large bags of cheese puffs were much more economical.
Pizza rolls? Out of the question!
Bubble gum? Find a pop bottle, cash it in, buy your own gum.
It was a different world back then.
