Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store At 6612 South Main St.

[Highrise Tower]

I was browsing The Southwest Citizen dated June 15, 1950 and noticed a full page ad for Piggly Wiggly located at 6612 South Main St.  Additional stores are as follows:

Store number 1 - 6615 So. Main

Store number 2 - 75th and Lawndale

Store number 3 - 7101 Ave. H

Store number 4 - ?

Store number 5 - 5620 Telephone Rd.

Store number 6 - 3145 Southmore Blvd.

I love these prices too.  Wild to look at the differences between 1950 and today.

At least some of these prices are higher than you'd pay today for the same items, if adjusted for inflation. I only checked a couple of them, but 35 cents for a dozen eggs is $4.36 in August 2022 dollars, and 79 cents for a pound of sirloin steak is $9.83.
