A lot of canned foods in store fronts. Olives. Sometimes bottles of local wine or spirits. Never ever meat or bread or anything useful in day to day use. There was no need to put products in the windows because people would line up for hours just based on the knowledge that a product will arrive via truck soon. It didn't matter what it was, beer, toilet paper, chicken, sour cream, people join a queue if they saw one and figure it out later. You could always barter if it was something not needed. No private stores or restaurants, but sometimes private ice cream vendors. People would sell sunflower seeds in paper cones on street corners or host private VHS movies for a small fee at their homes. If you had a Vcr you were a big shot. Kent cigarettes and instant coffee was the only worthwhile currency.

Yep, fun times in the golden era.
