Yep. In the 70s we’d stop there a lot as a family b/c almost everything was three for $1.00.

Later, in the 90s and early 2000s, my mother would take all the grandkids to McDonalds to order off the $1.00 menu - kids could either get the sundae or a wrap sandwich, and everyone was fed for under $6.00.

I also remember the 10 hamburgers or cheeseburgers for $1.00 in the 90s - people would order 30 at a time and freeze them.

No longer last time I was there, we got a McRib meal, another McRib separately, one drink - and two hamburger patties for the dogs - $32.

It seems that everyone remembers 15¢ hamburgers at McDonalds, but I can recall 10¢ burgers in the early ‘60s when my neighbor’s dad would buy a bag of 10 hamburgers for a $1.00. Cheeseburgers where 15¢.

Interesting thing about prices of those bygone years is they were paid in silver coinage.

Look up the current value of a silver dime or quarter to put those prices in a proper perspective.
