Yeah. Premade baskets suck.
Just buy a cheap basket from Dollar Tree and fill it with candy yourself. It'll be much better. |

Zayre was the Walmart of the '70s. Montgomery Ward was the Target of the '70s.

My dad used to call it "Monkey Ward" instead of Montgomery Ward. True story.

MMMM pig.
I perfer porkchops or bacon to ham though. I like ham sandwiches but ham on the dinner table isn't that great and it's normally cold by the time you get it. |

I remember how Montgomery Ward used to smell.
Sears used to smell like old lady girdles. Rubbery. |

My daughter always wants the pre-made ones. I make hers though & get cuter stuff. It kind of reminds me of when I was little and wanted the store bought
cheap plastic costumes and my mom handmade ours.

There was a checker lady at our local Zayre who had a full on beard and moustache -- she freaked me out. When Zayre closed she moved to the Venture store.
After Venture closed, she went missing -- hopefully she got a job at a travelling circus.

At the Monkey Ward we used to go to there was a lady cashier with no eyebrows. They appeared to be shaved off and she didn't even draw them back on with a
pencil. She was totally BALD in the eyebrow area.
She always looked so surprised when she rang up your purchases. |

My mother would buy a premade Easter Basket for our first Easter and then refill them after that.
We each knew which one was our Easter basket, but Mom couldn't tell the difference. One year she tried to tell me that the hairbrush in my sister's basket was for me. My sister and I traded hairbrushes, but not Easter baskets. Yeah, my mother was that thrifty. We got candy and stuff, too. Did your mother put a new toothbrush in your Christmas stocking? |

I always wanted one of those premade ones when I was a kid but I never got one. I realize they suck now but they looked so cool at the time. Probably because
my parents never gave us toys or anything for Easter. One year I got a baseball bat and one year I got a coat that I'd seen on clearance at the mall.
Everything else was candy.
