Here are some news clippings from October 1962 Ocala Star Banner ...
How expensive was it to eat out back then, look at this ad from Morrison's ... Looks like 2 people could eat out, have dessert, and include the tip for under $2 ...
After that, you could take a carload of your friends to the movies for $1.20, add another 50 cents for popcorn and you are still under $2.00 again. Of course gas was a consideration. We used to drive to Belleview and take advantage of the continual gas price wars and buy 10 gallons for $1.80 (of course everyone would chip in).
We didn't have a large selection of TV programs to watch, so TV wasn't really a big part of our lives back then. We were too busy buying 75 cent hamburgers (with fries) at the Big "D" ... another 15 cents got you a coke ...
Things were a bit more economical back then!
