What were prices like when you were younger—milk, gas, candy, home, etc?

We had our own cows so milk, cream, butter, and cheese came with the milk men who picked up the can of milk. Candy bars were 5 cents and you could get all kinds of candy for a penny.

When we got married our house in Granger [West Valley City] was about 10,000 dollars and Russell did most of the work or a big share. The house in Highland our payments were 69 dollars a month and we didn't finish the fireplace because we were afraid we couldn’t pay more than $69.00
