Also, sub $4 pack of smokes.
HS the price went from 55 cents a pack to 75, gas was also 65 cents/gallon. The BurgerKing/McD's commercials were about feeding a date and yourself for under $5 including milkshakes (machines actually worked back then too).

A flat of keystone light was $6.99. There was a midget who rode a 3 wheeled bike around town and he would buy us a flat if we gave him $10 and let him keep the change.

Copenhagen was $1.99 a can. I remember thinking how egregious it was when the price went up and you had to pull out a 3rd dollar bill to buy a can.

Pizza inflation hasn't been so bad. I remember I could get a large pepperoni takeout for $5 at Dominos. You still see specials advertised around there.
My first semester in college my tuition was like $900 though.
