Pepto costs $5.79, so factor that in as well.

Been a long time. Great after a night of drinking. Cost like 12 cents a piece.

IIRC, that was back in the days of the $1.25/hr minimum wage. Those who yearn for the days of low retail prices tend to forget that wages were equally low in those days.

I made more than enough easily in one week to pay for a 1br garden apt when these sliders cost 12 cents. You would be wrong if you think wages have kept up with what it costs to live now. Actually my comment was how much they cost I did not say I yearned for the days when the minimum wage was $1.25. If you made $1.25 you were doing something wrong.
