But who remembers how much you paid for your groceries,clothes, cars and TVs in Sunderland 50 years ago.
As the golden anniversary of that famous day approaches, we scoured the Echo archives to find what you paid for all your daily needs.
Have a look. It’s eye opening.
5. A new car to get to Wembley
If you wanted to travel to Wembley in style, how about an Austin Healey Sprite in racing green from Roland Monkhouse. It would cost you £699. Photo: se
6. Tailoring for a smart look
A stylish look for Cup Final day. Yours for a bargain price at Jackson the Tailors where studded jackets were £7.75 and jeans were £5.25. Photo: se
7. Lots of choice at Liverpool House
Did you have visitors over to watch the Cup Final? If you did, you might have had your house done up with a new carpet from Liverpool House. Yours for £2.50 a square yard. Photo: SE
8. More motors
Another great option for a new vehicle was Embassy Motors in Silksworth Row where a nearly new Vauxhall Viva deluxe estate was just £925. Photo: se
