    My parents would give me some change to go buy them a pack of cigarettes from a vending machine in the lobby of Bobs Big Boy.

    Or a note to run down to the corner grocery store and get them a pack?

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    I remember taking the note to get smokes quite well. Also the cigarette vending machine.

    25 cents in the vending, 22 at the counter! 1966 when I was 11!

    And gas, 28 cents a gallon around 1971!

    Remember gas wars, once got gas for 12 cents a gallon in HS.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Still a cigarette vending machine that is operational down at a bar in Nashville, Tn

    We have them in a lot of the casinos. They're a little more than 25 cents though...

    If you can remember before unleaded was invented. Leaded gas smelled soo good. Maybe that's my problem.

    Ethyl and Regular.
    I'd spend that extra penny for my minibike.

    I remember dad giving me money to go run to the pony keg and get him a 6 pack and me a candy bar. They never batted an eye selling an 8 year old beer.

    Nothing beats a good recliner, except for a good cigar and a whiskey.

    We had one of those when I was a kid, common back when people had large gardens or horses.

    Boot jack. Saw many home made from wood. There was a well worn one at my maternal grandparent’s home I wish I could have that one today. I’d keep it by the back door just like Grandaddy but I’d mount it on the wall as a keepsake.

    I was about to ask you what that was in your other post!
