How much did a can of soup cost in 1960?

Unfortunately, there's no single, definitive answer to how much a can of soup cost in 1960. The price varied significantly based on:

* Brand: Campbell's Soup, for example, might have been priced differently from a generic brand.

* Type of Soup: A can of tomato soup likely cost less than a more elaborate cream of mushroom soup.

* Location: Prices varied across the country, with some areas having higher costs of living.

* Size of Can: A smaller can would naturally be cheaper than a larger one.

However, we can get a general idea:

* Inflation: Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), we can estimate that a can of soup that cost around 10 cents in 1960 would cost about $1.00 today.

To get a more precise estimate, you could:

* Search for vintage advertisements: Old magazines or newspaper ads from 1960 might include soup prices.

* Consult historical price databases: Some databases might have information on specific grocery items from that period.
