When TV dinners, in aluminum trays came out. Once a month we would load up, after church, to go visit my uncle in Veterans Hospital, 40 miles to Lexington. Lunch was just ready when we got home from church. They were heavenly.

The A&P had 3 short aisles. Grandpa was the butcher in the back of the store. He always was smiling. My aunt was the cashier. You put your groceries on the counter and she pulled on a wooden handle to move the items towards her. She had to punch keys to put in the price. Then brother and I would go right next door to get milkshakes made on a real machine with big chrome holders. 25 cents for a shake.
Setting our hair at night with sugar water and bobby pins. The wringer washer, of course. Most of my siblings and me getting chicken pox...we thought because we had the chore of gathering eggs from the henhouse.lol.

Lucky strike cigarettes. If you and a buddy were walking along a street and you saw an empty lucky strike pack you step on it and slug your buddy. It was a freebie smack down because your foot was on the pack. I remember carrying one of those empties around with me for a while.
Saturday afternoon at the movies if we were good....
I didn't get to go much...

I remember riding my bicycle without a helmet, riding in the car with no seatbelts, growing up in a house and car filled with ashtrays and smoke. I remember smoking at work, in Publix and at the mall. I remember candy cigarettes. I remember being paddled a few times in school and I remember having mucho sexo casual before the days of aids and rubbers. 
I remember other stuff too, but I didn't want to use up all the good ones. Good thread LT

When a Beta machine was about 100.00
When Pong was about 100.00
But you could see a double feature movie for about 1.00

We had a wringer machine for so long and Mom had her Beauty shop in our basement..... lots of towels to hang out constantly. Winter clothes lines in basement with Dad's homemade dehumidifier.
I don't think I took that apart..... off limits.
School dresses that had to be ironed.

My Dad constantly having to reassure me that the basement in PO was where we would go in case of The Bomb..... all stocked and all.

Speaking of radios, do you remember these?
I got a white one for Christmas one year and used to take it to bed with me at night and listen to it.
I had a Toot a Loop so I could put it on my handlebars and listen while I rode my bike.
I remember when we all dressed up for air travel.
White gloves for church; cotton during warm months and kid when cool/cold..... but white.
