Is there a website that compares pricing for the last 50 years for common consumables (gas, milk, eggs, etc)?

Milk, a pack of cigarettes, a gallon of gas, were all a quarter.


A candy bar was a nickle and was the size of the ones at the movies. I bought a full sized car for $3299 in 1966.


My rent then was $129. for a four room duplex with a full basement.


My doctor charged $5 a visit and it cost $125 for full prenatal care and delivery. The hospital charged $350 for a four day stay for me and the baby. Labor and delivery included.


I'm not a website, and I don't go back fifty years in terms of paying the bills, but I thought you might enjoy the memory.
