Yeah, you right! I remember buying LP records back in the 50's for about
4 to 5 dollars a pop. That was quite a bit of money for a kid back then.
As for nickels, I remember buying candy bars and Cokes for a nickel.
That would be back in the 40's. Popcorn at the movies was 10 cents.
Admission for under 12 y.o. was 17 cents. So popcorn was kind of a rip
even back then. Comic books were 10 cents, paperbacks were 25 cents;
hell of a buy!
