My babysitter used to send me to the store to get cigarettes for her. She would give me a dollar, and I would have enough left for a 16oz Pepsi in the glass bottle and some penny candy.:slightly_smiling_face:

A quarter would get me a soda and slice of pizza.

And later, the idea of a computer game you can play on a TV: Pong!

I miss those days, now I have to send the kids to the store with a 10.

edit: carp, I meant for treats alone. Smokes up here are something else, they average about 15 per pack.

The 1st tv I had in my bedroom was black and white with rabbit ears.

I remember one night Blondie was on the Muppet Show, and I used my little cassette recorder to record the songs for later.

I was supposed to be asleep since it was after 8pm so,:speak_no_evil:

They are $8 a pack plus tax here now. I got a machine from Amazon and buy the tobacco by the pound for $12.

It averages out to 4 cents each, or $8 a carton. The amount of taxes on them is insane.

The dual cassette recorder really got it going. You could copy full albums with excellent quality from your friends for the cost of a blank tape.

Movies were expensive to get started, since you needed 2 VHS machines to pull it off.
