Hello

 

I’m trying to find a price for tripe to be sold in a grocer’s in the 1910s, ideally before the war and in what quantity/weight it was sold in.

 

I’ve found a reference to suet being sold for 1d and 2d but it doesn’t state the quantity (Round about a Pound a Week publication).

 

Any help gratefully received!

 

Thanks

 

Clare
