Yes, we had milk breaks, too. Milk was $.04 a bottle. And the savings bond program reminded me of S&H Green Stamps and later on Plaid Stamps. Remember those? They came in quite handy for trading in for household items to be given as wedding gifts. And do you recall being given glassware when you purchased gas? Some of it is selling at a premium now at antique stores.

You just opened up a whole can of worms. Gas stations? My memory fails me in many ways, but for some reason there is a snapshot image still in my mind of the Esso station and its 32 cents per gallon gas. And my dad complaining about the price of gas!

Also, grocery stores gave a free book to a set of encyclopedias w/every order over a certain amount but I can't recall what amount. I acquired the entire set of encyclopedias that way from my parent's shopping. Funk and Wagnalls, I think. LOL That may have come later, I'm not sure.
