Today is your day Boomer! Boomers will vividly remember "1.49 Day" at Woodwards stores in Canada. The old department store featured almost everything you could want to buy, including groceries....and almost every Tuesday from 1958-1993, it featured a very special sale day. Many Boomers were reminded of the sale with this catchy radio jingle: "$1.49 Day Woodward’s, $1.49 Day Tuesday." It was simple, yet very effective! And now, Woodwards is gone, but 1.49 is back at another grocery store, Save-On Foods, and I have no idea if it will catch-on like the old one. But the next day is April 18, so it might be worth a look-see at all Save-On stores in B.C.! By the way, the Save-On chain is owned by BC millionaire Jimmy Pattison who is always looking to make a buck....er, I mean a buck-forty-nine, so maybe we should give it a try. Just like "the good ol' days", right? Boomers seem to like that, and we all certainly want to save money in this inflation-filled era. Cheers shoppers!
