That was kinda my point. This is an 'I'm so old' thread.

the dollar today is worth less than 1/10th what it was in 1950. sad.

25 cents then, $2.68 now.

knowing that, it's kind of interesting to multiply all those old prices from the 50s by 10 and see how they compare to today's prices. some things, like eggs, are actually cheaper now.

I remember when strawberries cost 25 cents a quart and where picked by locals.

Me too. Where I lived it was 10 cents for a regular cone and 12 cents for a sugar cone.

TEN CENTS!
