Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

INTERESTING GROCERY PRICES FROM EARLY 1900s

Instead of a recipe, today's post is just a list of a few interesting facts I came across in an old fashion cookbook. With today's grocery prices I thought you might be interested in knowing some grocery prices for baking needs in 1900.

Sugar - 4 cents per pound
Eggs - 14 cents per dozen
Butter - 25 cents per pound

It was also during the early 1900s that tuna was first put into cans.
