And You Thought Gas Is Expensive Now?

You and your partner will explore how much prices have changed in a chosen span of fifty years (1800-1850; 1850-1900; 1900-1950; or 1950-2000). You will find the prices for typical groceries in today's time and in the given half-century. You will also explore prices of gasoline and the differences in method of payments. A worksheet to average your prices will be used and a fun online calculator will help you determine prices to adjust for inflation. All of this, plus more, will help you determine how much prices have really changed. And of course, you will explore what influences the prices and what you can do to help.
