Any former Caldorites remember the yellow sale ticket that had to go on each and every item?

It didn't refer to retail craziness per se, but the fact the multitudes out shopping resulted in a rise in traffic accidents.Paul Ducanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33709921.post-33724044524986581412009-06-13T21:05:56.828-04:002009-06-13T21:05:56.828-04:00I used to deliver the Courant,I must have thrown t...I used to deliver the Courant,I must have thrown this ad on a few doorsteps in nov 1978planckzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833015423627430972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33709921.post-88025872319239919312008-12-05T19:25:00.000-05:002008-12-05T19:25:00.000-05:009am store opening on Black Friday?

The home electrics are pretty much the same price nowadays, and some can be had for $10.00. Replace the LP's with DVD's and/or CD's for the same price. Thanks for the post as it put a smile on my face as I always hit Caldor's for the Dollar Day Sales. It was the best time to by all your home cleaning products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33709921.post-60651509906055679632008-11-29T22:45:00.000-05:002008-11-29T22:45:00.000-05:00I think I have a Montgomery Ward charge card...and...I think I have a Montgomery Ward charge card...and a Mervyn's one too!Pseudo3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848368606946150471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33709921.post-13863955585728732292008-11-29T00:08:00.000-05:002008-11-29T00:08:00.000-05:00Greg, I might have a newspaper copy of the card bu...Greg, I might have a newspaper copy of the card but I do not have a physical copy of an actual card.
