I’ve been on an old movie/show kick lately, mostly mystery’s and horror- my fav- and I started Alfred Hitchcocks The Trouble with Harry mainly because of the fall aesthetic and I’m always wishing it was fall since here in south Louisiana majority of the time it’s like living in the depths of hell (hallelujah for the cool front approaching 🙌🏼)
…ANYWAY, watching these old movies is blowing my mind how much the cost of living was back then! A man just bought milk, eggs, beans, butter, salt, oil and sugar and total for his groceries was $1.95 🤯 oh, and then he said he forgot he needed a pack of ci******es as well which brought his total to a whopping $2.05. It’s so crazy how different things were back then!
Could you imagine the cakes I could be slinging if butter was still only $0.70 a pound! 🤣
