The thread below on the haircut prices reminds me of times long ago.
Now I am in my mid 40s. I remember Soda pop out of a machine was 50 cents, then there is Penny candy, usually a nickel in the late 70s, I was a kid then. I do not remember gasoline cheaper than 85 cents per gallon which is the price when I started driving in 1984. Now Soda pop is in a plastic bottle and costs $1.50, Gasoline is $3.79 and penny candy is 50 cents, a gumball is 25 cents now. (remember when a gumball was a nickel) Taking a girl to the movies in 80s cost $9 for 2 tickets. I have not been to a movie in a few years, wife dragged me along last time.
Stuff that I buy, I went to home depot to buy paint yesterday, A paint brush is $8, a gallon of Behr house/fence stain is $24 a gallon, roller covers, $9 for 3 of them.
Some of you old timers likely remember when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon, a gumball was a penny and a gallon of house paint was $5.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
