InquisitiveScouter Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 @RememberSchiff, $25 from 1911 in today's dollars would be $727.87. https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1911?amount=25 That's $17.33 per person per day. Pretty good! But with our advances in food production, storage, and logistics over the century, and changing it to a more "modern" list (we rarely cook with lard or butter anymore), I'd bet this cost would be much less (than $727.87) today. Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjohns2 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Or 2 gallons of maple syrup. That is a lot for 3 people to go through in 2 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
