Today is my 35th high school class reunion and I thought it would be fun to look at prices from 1975! My senior memory book had a page titled 'Prices Today'. It said "You'll get a kick out of this page in the years ahead. Go ahead, list the prices you paid for some of the more common items listed below." I bet the writers never imagined it would be posted on a blog in 2010!!
Hamburger: $.65
French Fries: $50
Coke: $.30
Movie at theater: $.75
Favorite magazine-Seventeen: $.75
Jeans: $10.00
Gasoline: 57.9 per gallon
Record Album: $6.98
8 Track Tape: $5.98
School Dance: $2.00
Bread: $.65
Candy Bar: $.15
I would love to have the movie, gas and candy bar prices back!!
My blog features articles on a wide range of historical topics and includes personal stories, historical documents, and photographs. My blog includes resources for family history enthusiasts, such as examples of historical resources and articles about researching family history. I aim to provide a unique and personal perspective on my ancestor’s past, and to help my readers understand the experiences and struggles of the ancestors who came before us.
