Some things were cheaper (hamburgers, eggs, milk, cars), and some things were far more expensive (long-distance phone service, computers, electronic text message services). What you want to do is search around for "CPI" data -- that's the consumer price index, no doubt on some government site there is a series going back that far.

Everything cost about 70% less but then wages were about 50% less.
