I used to get a 12oz can, a small bag of chips, and a two row bag of sandwich cookies for a dollar.........give me five and I would have been a snack kingpin on the block

Yah inflation sucks. 5 bucks in 97 is almost 12 bucks in 25.



I remember KFC used to have a $5 sunday buffet in the neighborhood I grew up in. It was a monthly tradition. They Held my family down on Sundays with unlimited coleslaw, chicken, biscuits, and those discontinued KFC wedges
