"Hershey Bars , For a Nickle. A Nickel!"

I remember those days....also when you could get a hamburger, fries and a drink for $1 at McDonalds.

When I was a kid, I would get a 25 cent weekly allowance. I’d then go to the store and had a serous purchasing decision.

Candy bars were either a dime or a nickel size. I could buy two ten cent and one five cent, or three five cent and one ten cent, etc.
Hostess pies were 13 cents. So if I bought one, no matter what else I bought I would always have leftover change.

I never walked out of the store with a hostess pie.

I’m now 65 and still have a hard time saving money.

"A Nickel!"

My first new car was a red 4-speed manual 1979 Ford Fairmont. $3688.00, $700.00 down. Looked like this, but without the whitewalls and all the fancy fender and door trim or vinyl roof. No a/c or power anything. Had to buy an AM radio.

Payments were $91.78 a month. That was like, a nickel!
