I remember when my Grandparents would tell me when buying something, "this used to cost a nickel". I didn't understand it until my later years.

I remember when my Grandparents would tell me when buying something, "this used to cost a nickel". I didn't understand it until my later years. Now, when I go to the grocery store (I don't dine out, that's insane with the prices and the fake food they feed people who don't know why they are sick all the time) and see a can of Campbells Chicken Noodle soup which is loaded with salt (not the good kind) and gawd knows what (the label is a nightmare) "on sale" for $2.49 I say to myself, "I remember when this would sometimes be on sale for .30 cents in the 1980's"! Or how about top ramen (equally just as bad for you, but if you are going to college and are a young pup can definitely keep you from starving to death) which used to often be on sale for 10 for a dollar! And the sad thing is... the young people (just like we were) will be conditioned to think these prices are "normal"....
arent people tired of telling the same worn out bullshit ramen stories? what about saying mac and cheese you know something different. I never believe any body who says they had to eat that shit
I did not mean it was shit just meant I was tired of hearing it. but how many guys will do what you can do? you must be a good cook but guys dont care about that lol
I never get tired of hearing about the old days, hahaha. My grandma had to walk 3 miles to school unless they were lucky enough to get a ride in the back of some farmers wagon who happened to be going their way. One winter the snow was soooo deep that they couldn't see out the downstairs windows and when they dug their way out to get to the outhouse the snow was over their heads! Once a week they filled their galvanized metal bathtub with hot water and took baths out on the porch. My grandma said the youngest took the last bath and by that time, the water was filthy. Come to find out that's where the expression " don't fill the baby out with the bath water " comes from. Don't even get me started with the stories about my ancestors who came to America's east coast when it was still a collection of British colonies.
Is that where you're from? Prince Edward Island? Oddly enough my grandparents never mentioned not having electricity. I quess she didn't think it was that big of a deal. We all loved it when the lights went out anyway.

It's true though and it isn't shit, you can do a lot with ramen with a little creativity and the right connections, lol

Thought you were talking about PEI, Canada but then you would have mentioned: 'snow sledding off the barn's roof, no electric/telephone' etc
