Food: Fast food combo meal at Burger King was around 39 cents. Small burger, fried and coke. Pizza pies were around 1,25 each fresh from the oven. Chickens were 29 cents a pound, while a large bottle of Coke was 39 cents on sale.

Gas was 24 cents per gallon. Cars cost $2000 to $3000, and average homes were $25000 - $40000.
I think prices overall have increased by at least a factor of 6!
