Unfortunately the title of this thread reminds me of an old Micheal Jackson joke...
Q: What does Family Dollar and Micheal Jackson have in common?
A: Both have boy's underwear half off!
EDIT: I agree with the "Ugh!" emoji, @Tunescribe !!!
The closest we had to us in Dorchestah during the 1970s was Bradlees (aka Mrs B's), both at Fields Cornah and especially the one on Morrissey Boulevard.
Bob's Surplus started up in CT in the 1970's and they were famous for selling their branded tee-shirts for $1. Me and my friends joked if we were ever down on our luck we could have a complete wardrobe by going to Bob's and spending $7 on a different shirt for every day of the week, since the shirts were different colors.
It reminds me of when I was going to college and my mom gave me four new sets of jeans as a gift, but they were the wrong size. I brought them back to Bob's and when I was doing the exchange the teller said "Ok, Mr. Lee, here's your $20". I said, waaah? She said they were now on sale and they honored the sale price. I said to myself oh-boy I scored! Back then $20 was several nights of drinking money! Of course that's what it ended up being spent on. Sorry, Mom, I thought about giving you back the money, but after thinking about it some more I considered it part of the gift!
According to the link below a six pack of beer cost $3.42 in 1980 which is when I started college. I definitely remember buying cases of beer for $10 or less on sale. There would be a big debate of quality vs quantity though. I remember buying lots of Canadian beer such as Molson or Labatt's for $11.99 a case. The liquor store on the edge of campus always had stuff in that price range. I remember one of the neighborhood dive bars sold mugs of beer for $0.50 in the late 70s and nicer joints selling pitchers of beer for $3.
Here's what a six-pack of beer cost the year you were born
The price of beer could double in coming years. Though such a price surge would be unprecedented, beer prices have fluctuated over the last 60 years.www.usatoday.com
