when I was a little girl, there was a stray kitty outside the grocery … I had my nickel allowance and went to the butcher and he gave me what seemed like a lot of meat … I went through the checkout and got back 3 pennies and went out and fed the kitty ….

I think the price of a pound was less than 20 cents (my god, I am old )
