Yeah. My elk costs me a $30 tag and a little diesel to harvest. A few dollars in butchering items and roughly a $1 for my shell.
My chukar costs are exorbitant per bird.

25 cents for an icy mug of beer at the Outlaw Bar in Baker, Nevada. 99 cents for a steak and eggs at the Cal Neva in Reno during college. 69 cents after midnight. 3 dollars for a roll of Copenhagen.

I remember when both brisket and short ribs were considered less desirable cuts of meat. And priced accordingly.

I moved from small town New Zealand to study at OSU in 1992. I didn’t have access to fast food in NZ so I clearly remember the $99 whopper and $5 all you can eat KFC.

Myself and eight buddies accidentally walked into a bar that was having a .25 cent draft beers the night of my bachelor party. Best $10 bucks ever spent and a good start to a long night!

Funny how we remember the cost but forget the money.
When I was in high school, gas was 32 cents a gallon. I was making $1.60 /hour. So it took me 12 minutes to earn a gallon of gas.
You can’t find anyone that will work for $16.00/hour these days and gas is now $3.20/gallon.
The simple math would say that it is relative in cost/gallon of gas, but the truth is, a minimum wage earner is making more than $16.00/hour, so it is actually cheaper today than it was at $.32/gallon…

That's true, but that's for one item.

$2.99 all you can eat at Captain D's (Tuesday nites in college, obscene amounts of fish and fries consumed). Burger and small drink at McD's 37cents (including tax). 11 cent gasoline (town was famous for gas wars).
I have started looking at the cheaper meals at the drive thrus, and just wonder what they are feeding us if they can do it at that price (well, used to be cheap when a sausage biscuit was a buck).
