  I was 12, so I didn’t have 3 cents to rub together, let alone 30. I assumed it was similar to candy bars when I was in high school, which were about $0.50 at the time.

    I was only like 9, but I remember that shit. Lol.

    Least those were the prices here in the Midwest. Thirtyish cent candy bars, 25 cent bags of small chips, 35 cent cans of coca cola, 59 cents for a 20 ounce. If hamburger was a dollar a pound, it’s because it wasn’t on sale that week.

        Terrible with some things and great with others. I could drive somewhere 5 times in a day, and may not be able to find my way back in a week.
