I remember my mother always used to put $3 of gasoline in the car - and it would buy almost 8 gallons.
I remember when soda pop came in glass bottles that you had to return to the store (for 0.05 or 0.10 per bottle). I remember a section of the grocery store that was just stacked up with those returned bottles (ewwww - bug central!)
I remember taking my brother's wagon door-to-door to our neighbors asking if they had any bottles they didn't want - and we'd make out like bandits! (Can you actually imagine going door-to-door today, basically asking your neighbors to give you money?!)
I remember telephones with rotary dials and when it cost more to have a phone with touch-tone (versus analog?) dialing.
I remember going barefoot in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC with my hillbilly relatives - and not realizing that was a bad thing to do! (And I have pictures to prove it).
