I was invited to a .22 shoot last weekend.
Bring $5’s and $20’s he says.
Stopped into a gas station on the way and bought a Snickers bar.
Jesus! I thought I’d bought five of em when I got change back!
LOL
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Anybody else remember buying a candy bar for a nickel? Sure do. That was also when the median family income was around $6000/year. Most families earn more than that/month now.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I remember 5 cent candy bars, but since I can remember Snickers were 10 cents. Back as far as 1955, it gets foggy past that.

Today's family earned less than $75k, 12 times what was earned in your example. A Snickers can't be bought for 5 x 12=60 cents. My wife just told me a small one is $1.89 at her c-store. That is 31.5 times the example. 120,000 bars per year for the 5 cent example. 39,682 bars per year at today's prices. No wonder they seem more expensive.

When I was kid, I loved to go to the general store in Moultonboro, NH, as it had the old glass cases with 50 or 60 different penny candy options available. Candy cigarettes, wax bottles of flavored sugar water, bullseyes, a dozen different licorice options, etc. You could buy a lot of different candies with a couple of quarters.

My grandparents' restaurant sold a "Meat and three" plate lunch for 65 cents- - - -iced tea or coffee included- - - -fountain Coke was an extra nickel. I also remember a "Lunch Bar" - thin candy bar in a green wrapper that went for 3 cents (as printed on the wrapper).

And if that wasn't true, the bitch should do his job.
Take the man's hundy and give him the change.
I've done the same.

I did a little deer scouting in a different area today. On the way home I stopped for a burger at a place I use to stop at years ago. A small burger (looked like what they call sliders today) and a small order of fries (decent size) and a medium Pepsi. $11.74. Holy crap I could have stopped at a cafe and got a better meal cheaper. And it wasn't near as good as I remember them being.

All bullchit aside...
What is one hour of your time worth in 2023?
Serious question... Cash money?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Higz,
Big question is how many $$ you LEFT the shoot with? How do I know those aren’t a bunch of 1’s wrapped in a 20?

Higz,
Big question is how many $$ you LEFT the shoot with? You must have done a lot of lap dances. At least it isn't quarters. Used to shoot with a group for quarters, my goal was to not lose money. Poor bastards weren't very good, two had Anschutz rifles, good scopes and shot Federal Gold Match. My buddy shot a lot of open sight single shots, I used a 77/22 and Reminton Subsonics. The targets were 5 stingers out to about 50 yards, wit a tie breaker out farther. Off hand, no sling. Step back when you miss. We rarely came home with less than we brought. Once we had the buy in covered, we would often shoot at the rod welded to the swinger. That usually got me eliminated. Sucks to get your ass beat. Socks just as bad to dominate the competition. Especially when you know it's not because you are great, but that they just suck.

Anybody else remember buying a candy bar for a nickel? Sure do. That was also when the median family income was around $6000/year. Most families earn more than that/month now. Yep....maybe! Today's family earned less than $75k, 12 times what was earned in your example. A Snickers can't be bought for 5 x 12=60 cents. My wife just told me a small one is $1.89 at her c-store. That is 31.5 times the example. 120,000 bars per year for the 5 cent example. 39,682 bars per year at today's prices. No wonder they seem more expensive. Well JMR is a Libturd so alla that^^^^^ was wasted.

I got a call yesterday from an 80 year old guy I have not seen in 10 years.
He was buying a Win 69A [22 rifle] at a pawn shop and he saw my name on the paperwork.
He said ha paid $200.
I have one last model 69a on consignment there. It cost me $150 at a different pawn shop in 2014
