like you bought it recently for this cost but 10 years ago, it would have been way cheaper

Oh, this is very easy -- If I had purchased the Sand Wedge (that I should have done) when I first ordered my Left-Handed Golf Clubs set so long ago -- it would have been an additional $59.00. Today -- after finally taking Golf Lessons (Long Story -- didn't have time for lessons while on Active Duty, but a Lot of times, this was something that was considered 'team-building' activities) -- I find I really NEED a Sand Wedge -- which I just purchased for $115.00 (which was at a discounter no less!).

This can be difficult. Cars are have a lot more safety features and improvements, which make it difficult to tell how much of a price increase was inflation, and how much was better cars. Computers are another difficult one. My first computer was an Apple II, which was about $2500, but it would have taken 2000 of them to have the same computing power as my $600 machine today.
My favorite - something that never changes: A carton of milk at the school cafeteria was 10 cents when I was in kindergarten, 40 cents when I was in high school, 50 cents when I first became a teacher, and now is 65 cents or so.

Stouffer's dinners. I discovered them last fall at $1.89. They are now $3.65 due to popularity!
GAS! When I was younger, I remember it being as low as .65 a gallon and now I think it's great when I pay $2.09 a gallon.
