I swear I could get a twelve pack of Old Chicago-if I had the returnables-for like two bucks at the Mifflin Street Coop in the student slum section of Madison Wis in the early 70s . Maybe two-fify. Goodness , maybe it was a case
I used to buy 6-packs of Busch Bavarian for 99¢ at Eckerd's in 1974. You could also get Schaefer for 99¢, the 6-pack was shrink-wrapped.
 
I remember the Schlitz trucks coming to and from the plant in Winston off US 52 in the early 80s. Occasionally one would have the full trailer-side bull logo with the red lights for the eyes. As a child of the 70s/early 80s who was very much into trucks (thanks to Smokey and the Bandit, Movin' On, BJ and the Bear, etc...), those were pretty sweet.

Probably a case.
 
You can still get a Miller High Life pony (kept on ice, not in a cooler) for $2 at The Original Pinkie Masters in Savannah.

Among mainstream American beers, Miller High Life is my choice.
Same.

I can get a 6er of MHL ponies from my local grocery for $3. Its the best bargain in the store.
 
From big fraternity court I would roll over to the Happy Store to find the cheapest six pack on sale, usually for $1.99. Winners were usually Schaefer Light or Black Label Light. No one would steal my beer.
National Bohemian from Top of the Hill (when it was a convenience store).
 
I remember drinking cheap beer with a nice young fella from "the great Southwest" part of Wisconsin He said for very good sip of PBR you eventually get at least one fart
 
I drank a lot of $3.99 12 packs of Schaefer Light from Ken's in the early 90s. And as someone said earlier, nobody asked for a beer so I got the whole 12 pack to myself.
 
I think you may have misunderstood my post. It wasn’t an endorsement. That line was from their jingle in the late 70s or early 80s.
I remember the commercial and the beer, just much less fondly than I did so many years ago.
