re: What are some random prices that you remember during your high school days?

I can remember buying a six pack of Budweiser and a pack of Marlboro reds with a 5 dollar bill and getting some change back. You can't even get the cigarettes for 5 bucks now but thankfully I quit.

When I was in high school an ounce (Lid) of weed ran 35-40 dollars

When I was a kid, about one Saturday a week, my mother would give my oldest brother a $5 bill.

We'd walk the railroad track to town and get a haircut (crew cuts). Hair cuts were 50 cents.

We'd then go to one walk-in movie and see the double feature. Of major importance, the theater had air conditioning and admission was a nickel.

Then we'd go a couple blocks over and go to the other theater for another double feature. Admission at that theater was a dime.

At both places we'd get popcorn and a coke.

That evening, we'd head home and stop at a drug store and buy baseball cards.

When we got home, my brother would give mother back a couple bucks that were left over.

Popcorn was a nickel, coke a dime, and ball cards a nickel a pack with a slab of Bazooka gum.

-All the McDonald’s combo was $2.99. Supersize option was 39 cents. Been a while since I’ve been back but I’m guess it’s a lot more.

-Taco from Taco Bell 59 cents.... Didn't have any.

-50 cents for a 12 oz can of Coke from the vending machine......5 cents

-Brand new Levi’s jeans for twenty something. $7.99

-movie ticket price $4.35 .25 cents

That’s a lot further back than me.

I remember gas being $0.299 per gallon, but that was before I was driving.

I could take a girl to eat and to the movies for under $20.00 bucks. That’s not a great meal but it was Pizza Hut, etc.

I remember the TP/ States-Item being a nickel from the vending machine, and local pay phone calls being a nickel as well.

The old man bought a new ‘73 Chevy Impala 4 door hardtop for $2,700.

While we were at the Chevy dealership waiting, I messed with the first VHS player there I’d ever seen. They had individual sales tapes for each model of Chevrolet.

It was a huge top-load player.

I want to say as a freshman in high school I bought a Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal, upsized- made it a large (no super size yet) for $5.15 after taxes. We used to keep the change back then too. Always had some coins in my pockets that wound up in a stack on the washing machine

School lunch was $1.50

$.59, $.79, $.99 was the jingle for Taco Bell

Gallon of gasoline $.25

Cost to take the gf out to a movie on a friday night -
$ 10.00 (gas for the car, popcorn, and a coke included)

Memories. Priceless.
