I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

I remember when we bough 10lbs of potatoes a week for 39¢ and the week they went to 49¢ the hissy fit my mom through in the store over that dime. That dime paid for over a half loaf of bread. Premium name brand bread too.

I remember having a "party line" phone. A "milkman" and candy bars were all still 5 cents each. Oh and no zip code!

Oh, yes, that hissyfit thrown when the grocery bill went over $100. And that was for three loaded carts. I think the cashiers cringed when they saw us walk in...
