…but before we roll something out that may or may not cost five bucks, what are some great $5 buys that you can still get (or that you can’t still get)?
@jouest lol. Not quite. I think I’m guessing minimum wage was probably around $1.35 an hour or so maybe a dollar. I’m not sure I know my first job was a $1.35 an hour and I think at that point in time gas was about 20 cents a gallon
I just want to point out that there was like nine months in the late 1990s where you could fill up half my Civic’s gas tank for five bucks.
Honorable Mention: those shitty subway footlongs that weren’t a foot long.
@jouest I remember that. We took so many road trips that summer because we could all finally afford gas on a teenager’s minimum wage paycheck.
Hardee’s “Big Bag” meal deal

Well there’s Five Below, but not everything there is $5 or less, just as Dollar (and a quarter) Tree isn’t all just $1.25 anymore.
Not quite $5, but still under $6 – this current offer at shirt.woot:
