Drinkin' with Lincoln...as much draft beer as you wanted for $5. Cheapest beer I ever saw was dime beers in a hole in the wall place south of Great Falls. Lots of places with quarter beers.

In Missouri’s equivalent of Butte:

$3 pitcher nights in college. 25 cent wing nights. Dollar well drinks. $5 cup keg parties. $2 burgers. $3 giant burritos. $5 for 10lbs of chicken legs. Ribeyes for $4/lb on sale. $2 for 10lbs of potatoes. Shotgun ammo for $4/box.

Doesn’t really feel that long ago…

75 cent pitchers of Old Milwaukee and 10 cent White Castles.

As a young California dude. Taco Bell. 60's Taco "Bell beefers", a sloppy joe. .25 cent each. Used to buy 3 and a root beer. Those early Taco Bells, had lava rock fire pits, right in front of the entrance. As a young teen, growing up in Ohio, Mac D offered a quarter pounder, fries, & soda, for .99 cent. Early teen years.

There was a”penny pitcher” night at my local college bar. We took full advantage of that. Weekly.

Undesirable people found out about it, and they eventually had to shut it down.

Subway $5 footlongs. Try that now.

$2 all you could eat tacos with all the sides for Monday night football, plus nickel draft beer. Holiday Inn Elko NV many moons ago

Our college had a dairy. You could get a pint of chocolate milk for 10 cents, and a refill for 5 cents. We'd often do that after work-outs.

Little Debbie snacks used to be a quarter. The highlight of gas station stops as a youth

 

[nidahunter]

I used to stop on the way home from work and get a $.25 cent large Mc Donalds ice cream cone.

Sams Club or Costco food court. Still dirt cheap.

Thursday night.
Free Beer at Grandma's Bar - Powell WY

Then back over to Hansel & Gretels till closing time.

Then a case on the floor board, and head for the hot pots at Mammoth.


But you gots to skedaddle when the sky starts getting light, or the rangers will catch you.

I remember my wife and I going to the cafe early on Sunday mornings and buying coffee for 25 cents a cup with unlimited free refills.

I would sure get a lot of work done around the house after downing five or six cups.

 

[noharleyyet]

10 cents a pack in the 70's

Warrensburg? Fake i.d.'s were happily accepted with no push back. Friend got bullied into a fight. Got arrested. The bully's jaw was smacked so hard the skull needed a metal plate. Went to trial. Judge in MO could ask questions during criminal trials so the judge did: "Mr. Alias, how many times did you hit Mr. Smith after he swung at you?" My buddy's reply, "Your Honor, before or after he hit the ground?" Even with that response, no conviction. Bartender and bouncer backed my buddy's recap of things.

Local Skyline in college had all-you-can-eat night once a week for $10. My fraternity would load up coolers of Natty Lite or Keystone and walk back and forth across the parking lot for refills. Pretty sure we put that particular franchisee out of business.
