Top Ramen, 8-cents per pack. This was back in 1982 but, even then, it was a very low price.

The store was a local chain with several outlets. Went to each store and asked for cartons of the stuff from the back room. Hit each store. Bought them out.

Believe I obtained around 40 cartons with 24 packs per carton. Kept me going. When some extra money came along (a rare event) would buy a pack of the 49-cent turkey hot dogs, slice them up, and add it to the ramen.

After using the stockpile…. never had ramen again. Ever. Likely never will.
