Grew up in the 60’s and 70’s.. I remember McDonald’s had a hamburger, fries and a coke and you got change back from a buck. I think you could get a cheeseburger and still get change back.. Saturday matinees were 45 cents, we always snuck candy in from the drug store across the street. You could get popcorn but not a coke, or coke but not popcorn. 55 cents didn’t go far at the movie candy counter. A box of good n plenty or junior mints was 50 cents..

McDonald’s was kind of as treat for us, we only got it when we were traveling out of town.

Saturday matinees
In the early 1950s it was 25 cents for two movies, previews, cartoons, and a news reel. Between the movies there was a drawing of tickets. If you had the winning ticket you got to stick you hand into a jar full of coins and keep what ever you could bring out (usually pennies and nickles).
