    I remember doing grocery shopping in a chain called "Grand Union".

    The name "Grand Union" was inspired by the desire to "unite shoppers with low prices in a 'Grand Union of Value'" as described by company associate Elvin Sanders. The store's mascot was Abraham Lincoln wearing a deli apron, and most stores featured a costumed Lincoln to accomplish deeds, talk to customers, and proclaim the general splendor of the Grand Union, and to urge them to "Save the Union" when the company faced economic hardship.

    But I never saw a "costumed Lincoln" at the stores I shopped at.

    Oh yes - "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In". Those were the good days of television: Brady Bunch, F Troop, Get Smart, Marcus Welby MD, Petticoat Junction, Hee Haw, Medical Center, to name a few.

    Peanut butter - in the cupboard.

    Car ? - before my time.

    Ruth Buzzi on Laugh In.

    Grocery store: Farmer Jack's (I think they got bought about about 15 years ago), A&P. As a young wife, Safeway, Dominion (Ontario), Knob Hill Farms, and some independents for specialty items. I remember going to an Italian butcher for some items, too.. that was a looooong time ago.

    Bananas: from 6-9. After that they get frozen for smoothies and banana bread.
