Inflation

[Johnny P]

My, how things have gone up. Have a receipt from where my great grandfather bought supplies, Feb. 14, 1890.

1 Barrel Flour. $4.75
50# Lard. 4.25
10# Tobacco. 3.50

Plus the flour barrel was free.

We all know the value of money was way less then but think about how long 50# of lard and 10# of tobacco would last.

With inflation we mainly look at the price. This is a reminder of how "little" we are actually buying. Tobacco is sold by the ounce. Flour in 2,5 or 10# paper bags.
