The cost of things in 1987
I was reading about the difference of costs from in the 80's compared to today. I wanted to share some of that with you. The average cost of a new home: $127,200.00 A VCR(no DVDs yet): $270.00 Ground Beef = 3 bucks a pound An 11oz can of ground coffee: $2.00 A six-pack of Coke: $1.89 Box of Frozen waffles: $1.50 A 10 Disk CD Changer: $400.00 A camcorder: $100.00 A first class stamp: $0.22 Gas: $0.96 per gallon! A candy bar: $0.40 A walkman: $45.00 A dozen eggs: $1.00 A gallon of milk: $1.80 A loaf of bread: $1.25 Average price of a new car: $10,500.00 A pack of Cigs: $1.25 (actually I remember when my mom bought them for $1.10) A box of cereal: $1.90 A Car Phone: $1,400.00 One Share of Microsoft Stocks: about $100.00 Times sure have changed! I remember when a walkman was out of the question for me because they were so expensive. A Cabbage Patch Doll at $35.00 was way too expensive as well. What was your favorite 80's toy?
