Grandpa was always going on about the good old days, and the lower cost of living, in particular. “When I was a kid, my mom could send me to the store, and I’d get a salami, two pints of milk, 6 oranges, 2 loaves o’ bread, a magazine, and some new blue jeans — all for a dollar!”
Then Grandpa said sadly, “You can’t do that anymore — now they got those video cameras everywhere you look.” (Cybersalt Digest)
