What would be interesting to me is a similar comparison (going back 30 years) from that old receipt.
Back in 1967 things were "cheap" too.
Her numbers indicate a 3.2 times increase. ($155 to $504... close enough.)
Did the previous 30 years increase similarly?
Hard to rely on published numbers for that history which is why this vid interests me.
A 30 year old printed document.
Maybe postage is a good (and unsurprising) way to check back.
Since it
also went up 3x from the late 60's to the late 90's I continue to see a status quo...
Every 30 years we get to panic...
I'm sure everyone has looked at old price tags on items and had a chuckle.
That old garden tool from ACE Hardware used a couple times a year so the 30 year tag is still visible.
That kind of thing... Yard sales with old **** in old boxes have some of that.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
