"For a kid on a 20 dollar a week allowance" .... Suddenly Scott's insanely free and easy stance towards spending exorbitant amounts of money on landfill makes a lot of sense

@LincolnRon

That's how much most kids I knew got when I was a kid. In 1973 a $5.00 item would cost $22.70 in 2006. That same item would cost $31.30 in 2021. So $5 a week was probably the normal allowance when I was a kid but now $30 a week is probably the normal allowance for a kid.

@@pollard068 I take it you grew up in the 1950s & 60s or early. Because the average price of a candy bar from 1900 to 1969 was a nickle. A sugar shortage caused the price to double (a dime) in 1970. Then 15 cents in 1973, 20 cents in 1976, and a quarter in 1978. Prices for candy bars have continued to stedily rise at about the same pace.

In Germany in many shops we have something called "Grabbelkisten", boxes with cheap things in them. Most in electronic stores you can get movies, music, games and other thing for just 1 to 5 Euros. There is also the "Software Pyramide" and "Green Pepper" which did just cheaper rereleases of some older games.

I remember back in 2016 my local Five Below had a ton of Metal Gear Rising PS3 copies. I had never played a metal gear game before and was like “wtf isn’t this game supposed to be good? Why is it here?” I just assumed it was a spinoff fans didn’t like that ended up making its way to the bargain bin. I bought it for shits and giggles and oh my god it was INSANE. Genuinely has been in my top 10 ever since. Hands down best $5 I’ve ever spent.

I worked for Atari/Infogrames during the end of their time in the US, doing customer tech support for the shovelware they were supporting at the time. Almost every caller had bought their game at the grocery store and I had to walk them through running the games in compatibility mode because they were so grievously old. Our leads also had us walk completely computer-illiterate people through editing their registry file too, which was terrifying.

Proven to be true for myself... i bought that Coleco plug and play console from Dollar General in 2005 (which i was ten years old) after the christmas parade in freezing temperatures and it's the most utterly worthless thing i ever played. I had a bootleg console in the living room (but it wasn't my Christmas present) that didn't last a year weeks later.

I grabbed the Sega Genesis handheld and loved that thing. It had an SD card slot so you could add more roms to it. It was awesome.

I bought Civ III at Five Below in maybe 2004! Could have even been 2005, but I'm pretty sure Civ IV came out after. That was a genuinely good deal, and that series has brought me nearly 2 decades of value since.

My best dollar store find as a kid were the Angry Birds equivalent of Nintendo's amiibos for their mobile games! I believe they were called telepods... they were AWESOME. I also got some at the dollar store that were for the angry birds/transformsers crossover game. The telepods themselves could transform from car to bird!

Till this day I still hit up the dollar store before going to the movie theater.
