Good ol' 1930...
...one dollar in 1930 was the equivalent of $16.12 in 2021 dollars. So you could get a pound of butter for 40 cents, but that works out to over six dollars. And a dozen eggs were 31 cents, but that's almost five dollars today. But if you bought them both at the same time, you would only pay 69 cents, instead of the full 71 cents.
A whole chicken cost $1.19, which works out to $19 in today's money. At least they were so tender that the meat literally fell from the bones when done...
