I worked 2 weeks at 35¢ an hour...but that was for a cheapskate..75¢ was more standard on my next job in a grocery store.

Paid 17.9¢ per gallon of gas once, during a gas war..(does that count?)

and I remember as a kid paying 6¢ for ice cream bars/popsicles...we were outraged when it went up to 7¢!(yes, it WAS past the days of ½ cent pieces!)
