You can still buy $.05 cent candy bars but they come in $1.00 wrappers.

“You can still buy $.05 cent candy bars but they come in $1.00 wrappers.”

I recall getting candy bars as a youth at an old country store. I had a 25 cent Snickers in my hand. The old guy behind the counter said “Hold on - I think I have a ten-center back there and can save you some money!”

Even after opening it, it STILL smelled of kerosene from his heater and had to toss it out. And now with only 15 cents in my pocket couldn’t buy a good one. The old “you get what you pay for” learned at a young age.
