Do you remember when.......

My mom turns 80 this week and it reminded me of the birthday cards that tell what happened and how much things cost in a persons birth year. Do you remember when candy bars were a nickel, and a bottle of pop was a dime? Soft serve ice cream cones were a nickel or a dime, bubble gum was a penny. My high school grocery store job paid $1.65 per hour and as a college student in 1970 I remember paying $.29 per gallon for gas.

What's it going to be like for my kids? When they're my age (57) are they going to be saying they remember the good old days in Oklahoma City when gas was $3.50 per gallon? When it only cost $8.50 to get in the theatre to watch a movie? I guess it's all in a person's perspective, isn't it?

So let me ask you this.......what's the most ridiculous?

1. Gas at $3.50 per gallon

2. Milk at $3.50 per gallon or

3. Bread at $3.00 per loaf

My vote is for the bread at $3.00 although I bought a less expensivive loaf. By the way the first home I sold was in 1975 for $30,000 and that was pricey! I sold several in the $15,000 to $20,000 range.
