Do anyone know the price back in the 1940's-1980's?

I am doing a project on economic



I need someone to tell me how much it cost for



a pair of shoes



a hair cut



a pair of jean



a pay phone call



comic book or magazine



a television



a school lunch



back in 1940's-1980's



Do anyone know the price back in the 1940's-1980's?

I can approximate for the early 1970's:



Shoes - tennis shoes: $10-12 dress shoes: $20



hair cut - $3.50 style and cut - $6



Jeans - $7.50



pay phone - 10 cents



comic book - 25 - 35 cents



TV - ??? maybe $300?



school lunch - 35 cents at my school



Late 70's, with inflation, every thing went up in price:



Shoes - tennis shoes: $15 dress shoes: $22



hair cut - $12



jeans - $18 - $45 (designer jeans were in)



phone call - 20 cents



comic book - 50 to 75 cents



TV - ????



school lunch - 55 cents



You can try to find an old Sears catalog at a library to see if they have prices on some items to help you compare.



Good luck!

That's a 40 year period. The prices would have changed up and down many many times. There's no way anyone can tell you all that.



I'll give you this: when I was in high school, in the late 1960's, school lunch cost 30 cents, pay phones were a nickel for a local call; comic books cost a dime (special editions might cost 25cents).

Does this happen to be for Mr. H's Economic class? that's creepy... I was looking for the same thing and I stumbled across here. Well, this helped me some so thanks. If the SN doesn't tell you who I am its a lost cause. Have a good one.
