Our local grocer would take 'cents' off coupons at face value. I would find any magazine I could to get the coupons from it. My favorite spot was the local barber shop.

I don't know if any of you ever met Cas Walker, but I had the opportunity to ride a shuttle bus from an airport to our hotel. He had the attention of everyone on the bus. He started telling a story about one of his Tennessee Walking horses that wasn't worth a $hit in his exact words. He took it to an auction wanting xxxxx amount for it. (I can't remember) He said the bidding went far past what he was asking and he felt so good about the bids. Finally the auctioneer announced 'SOLD to Mrs. Cas Walker"... he said that was the closest he ever came to asking for a divorce. He could sure tell some stories.

Yep. He used to talk to Mom all the time. I never knew if she actually liked him or just put up with him.

I had a friend at UT that worked part time at Cas Walkers. He said that they would place a broom at the end of each check out and charge everyone that went thorough the line for the broom. If they caught it, they were instructed to say that they thought it was their broom. Most people never realized the scam.

At the time, Cas was the the modern day P.T. Barnum. I'm pretty sure he embraced "There's a sucker born every minute".

I heard something about him dropping turkeys or something from a helicopter at one of his grand openings. I don't know if it is true or not. He made a lot of money out of cracker boxes. In his later years he built some much larger stores.
