George Marsh said: (quoted from post at 03:04:43 09/30/12) 45 years ago I worked at a gas station for $1/hr. I do my weekly grocery shopping at Wal-mart. I don't have a family to shop for, don't buy beer, expensive foods, meats, or Rx meds. Checked out today and thought to myself, 45 years ago I would have had to work 196 hours to pay for this cart of groceries($196) and a few items used in the home. Considering there are only 168 hours in a week I wouldn't have been able to shop at Wal-mart. Time to bash Wal-mart:)
I remember my dad worked at a grain elevator in 1940 for $0.50/hr $20 a week.
How much will things cost 45 years in the future?

If you got food stamps it would be $196 worth of free stuff.... If its free who cares what it cost,,, those that don't get free stuff are the ones that pay the price... BTW I spent $230 last nite and forgot to get a few things :cry:
