I'm too old to remember!

I can remember rolling up pennies (.50) to buy hubby a pack of cigarettes.

ETA: hubby quit smoking 10 years ago.

I don't smoke and never have, so I have no comparison to make there. I don't want to highjack your thread and if it you object, I'll delete my comment but your question got me to thinking about the price of things now as compared to the "old days". When I was a little girl, movies cost $.25. Truly. My son always teases me and says "Yes, Mom, I know. And you walked uphill to school both ways in the snow". But it really did only cost $.25 to see a movie, so if I had a dime extra, I could buy two candy bars and watch a double feature! Now do you still feel old?

I remember my Dad buying cigarettes at $2.00 per carton.

And I remember the 3 cent stamp. And if you didn't seal the envelope and just tucked the flap in, you could mail it for 2 cents. I only remember that on Christmas cards tho, so that might have been the only time you could do that.

I remember these prices, also. And gas for 25¢/gallon.

Wow that was too long ago for me to remember. I smoked some in high school but gladly I quit in my early twenties. You should think about quitting. Think of all the money you will have saved and also health care costs.

I remember going to the store for my Mom to get her smokes. The cost??? $.25 a pack. Mom's been gone for 36 years. Died from lung cancer. Nice.

I used to wlk into Winn Dixie and buy a coke out of the coke machine for a nickel. Anybody remember that?

I don't remember what cigarette prices were in 1962 when I started, but I do remember that when I quit in 1982, they were up to .65 cents a pack which I thought was too high. I haven't smoked in 27 years!
