9. I remember the stagflation of the 1970s

I shuddered when my mom sent me to the store to pick up ingredients for cake or dinner, only to come home to tell her the prices almost doubled from the costs of a week prior. For instance, a 5 pound bag of store brand flour was 50 cents in April, 1974; two days later, the same bag the following week was 75 cents. We could hardly afford to eat and we were a family of 6. Stagflation has real life consequences rich anal apertures don't feel.
