Buying Remington SR primers for $2.00 a thousand .Buying off the shelf 2 9/16" 16 gauge shotgun shells that actually fit and functioned correctly in my pre war A5 Browning. Austin pistol Black Powder for $1.75 a can. Buying powder in a brown paper sack. When all wheel weights were lead and didn't need sorting. When the old Black Ideal lube was The Lube. RWS #11 percussion caps for $4 per 1000 roll and Dupont FFFG for a hair less than $2.00 a pound. Buying tins of RWS CB caps for less than $2.00 . I could go on but it's kinda making me sick thinking about it.
One more, I remember when you could buy a baby Alligator at the W.T. Grants store in Nashville for $2.00 . $2.00 used to be a significant amount of money , now it will almost buy the same 1/2 gallon of gas that I bought many times as a kid for 14 cents. By the time I started driving gas had gone up to .37 a gallon for Sinclair Regular.
