Back in 1968, I purchased a book HOW TO FEED FOUR FOR $1.00.

Wish I still had it.

That might work if food was priced like it was in 1968.
Today 4 people would each get a ramen soup for the day.

That would be $6.75 a day now. Or $202 a month.

I’ve got a book around here somewhere called “How to Build Your Dream Home for $5,000”. I think it was published in the 30’s.

***********************************
Back in ‘68, a gallon of gas in Dallas was only 30 cents or less. A burger with a Coke was about 50 cents.

In my senior year of HS in ‘60, gas was around 17 cents and burgers were only about a quarter.

Don’t know that $1 would feed four in ‘68, but prices were very low back then.... as were our wages.
