How much was a packet of crisps in 1966?

Answer 1

2d and you still had enough left out of that to go to the cinema and have a bag of chips on the way home.

Answer 2

4d (pronounced 'fourpence')

Decimal currency was not in use until 1971 (and it stinks, but that's a separate issue.) 4d is one third of a shilling so it is less than 2p. The crisps were made of fried potato (not the ghastly, taste-free modified starch muck they use now) and the salt was supplied separately in a little twist of blue paper.

Answer 3

I recall it was four old pence or 1.67 new pence.
