[Mr. Douglas]

When I was a kid (3rd to 6th grade in the 60’s), I’d get a 25 cent allowance every week. When I went to the grocery store to spend it, I really wanted to get a hostess pie, but they were 13 cents, giving me 12 cents left over and ultimately an extra 2 cents burning a hole in my pocket with nothing to spend it on.

Meanwhile I could get two ten cent candy bars and a 5 cent candy bar with nothing left over.

I never did buy a hostess pie. EVER.

Whoa, you were rich, I remember when my weekly allowance skyrocketed from $0.15/week up to $0.25/week and it was a windfall.

“I never did buy a hostess pie. EVER”—SAD.

I remember those days....although, sometimes I would
buy the Hostess Pie for .13 , and 2 pack - Twinkies for .12 ,
.......Voila! Yes, -that was a good deal. Even the
Gold Brand Pretzels were a penny ....right out of the jar!
