Chuck Roast
A large percentage of women’s employment in the early 20th century was focused on caring for children and providing time-consuming meals. As a result, cooking changed forever during World War II when many women took over formerly male roles. Quick and simple meals replaced more time-consuming ones in many households since there was less time to prepare. One of them was Chuck Roast. In 1940, the price of a pound of beef cut was 23 cents. If inflation is taken into account, $4.27 would be the equivalent. A pound of chuck roast will set you back $5.39 today.

Navy Beans
Navy Beans are tiny, oval-shaped beans with a white skin that are grown in a variety of conditions. A subtle, delicate taste may be detected in them. Beans like this are used to make Boston Baked Beans, which are well-known across the country. During the second part of the nineteenth century, these white beans were included in the naval diet of the United States, earning the moniker “Navy Bean.” This white legume was formerly sold for as little as six cents a pound back in the 1960’s. Beans will sell for an average of $1.43 a pound in 2020, according to industry forecasts. The price in 1940 would be just $1.11 now if one takes inflation into mind.
