In the early 1960's, I remember candy bars to be priced at 5 cents. Prices of everything from that time seem to be so ridiculously low compared to now - movies .35, bread .15, comics .10, newspapers .05, etc. For a quarter, I could go to the corner store and buy: a 6-oz bottle of coke, a small bag of potato chips, a Devil Dog (an east cost cake treat made by Drake's), a large dill pickle and two pretzel sticks - all for .25!!! Of course, wages matched the cost; my father worked in a grocery store and when he left in 1968 after many years, his salary was $500.00 a month.
